Vietnamese-style Pho Noodle Soup
A while ago, a Vietnamese friend made me some homemade pho soup, which was loaded with aromatic spices like star anise. It was so delicious, I'll never forget it! Recently, I found a recipe that looked basically the same as how my friend had made her soup, so I gave it a shot. It turned out well, so this is my slightly adapted version!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large pot, add the stock, star anise, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and onion. Bring to a boil, turn to low, then simmer with the lid on for 45 to 1 hour.
- 2
Strain out the spices and onion, then add 2 Tbsp of fish sauce or soy sauce. Taste the soup and add more if needed (it depends on the kind of sauce you use). * You can do up to this step ahead of time and then just reheat the soup when you are ready to eat.
- 3
Add some of the soup to a smaller pot and bring to a simmer. Add the sliced meat and cook for 2-3 minutes. If using fried tofu, skip this step. (You can do this in the large pot too, but I found it easier to dish out the meat evenly if it was separate, or if you are not eating all 4 servings)
- 4
If using fried tofu, grill it a bit in a frying pan (no oil needed) and cut into thin slices. Put on top of the soup just before serving.
- 5
Prepare the noodles according to the directions and drain. Some packages tell you to chill the noodles in cold water, but it makes the soup cold so I recommend keeping the noodles hot! (Just make sure you do this just before adding the soup, or else they noodles will stick together).
- 6
Divide the noodles among deep soup bowls and dish out the soup with the meat over the noodles.
- 7
Garnish with fresh lime, chopped chilis, and black pepper. Put the fish sauce/soy sauce at the table in case you need more. Dig in!

California Farm Northern Pho Beef Noodle Soup California Farm Northern Pho Beef Noodle Soup
Northern Pho Soup is simmered longer to extract more beef flavor from beef bones: knuckles, neck bones, rib bones, shank bones or oxtail bones and since we raise our own grassfed beef, which is flavorful but tough, we use this recipe.As farmers, I try to bring out the original fresh flavor of each ingredient, then add spice, herbs and other flavors in layers.You can buy this soup premixed in dry form, but check that it does not contain msg or ammonium costadum. I used my own ingredients, listed here, after tasting the premix. Use fresh celery leaves instead for the msg flavor, and dried white cardamon pods for the ammonium costadum. -

Another chicken dish! Since it's the weekend, I wanted to make something special. I love eating pho, so I decided to try making it at home to see if it could taste as good as at a restaurant. To my surprise, it turned out delicious and was very easy to make. Ever since I learned how to make it, I rarely go out for pho anymore.

Delicious Vietnamese Cuisine: Pho Delicious Vietnamese Cuisine: Pho
I received some pho noodles as a gift, so I tried making a pho soup.When I had this at a restaurant I thought the seasoning was a bit on the strong side...but when I made it at home it came out rather like salt-flavored wonton soup.Poach the chicken thigh meat with the skin on to extract more flavor for the soup. If you don't like the skin though, please remove it.You can use green onion, onion, mizuna and so on as the green topping.Add some lemon or yuzu for a refreshing taste. For 1 serving.

Beef Pho Beef Pho
To celebrate Pho Day on December 12th, I want to share my recipe for traditional beef pho. This was the dish I most wanted to try making when I started learning to cook. I used to think it would be very difficult, but once I started, I realized it’s not that hard and anyone can make it. This pho is made in the Southern Vietnamese style and is served with bean sprouts and fresh herbs.
