  1. yes, a vietnamese dish with thai sriracha. that's just great. i can already hear uncle roger cussing you out.

  2. just going to say that you really shouldn't be boiling the spices OR the other aromatics that long. The flavor extraction times for the spices and the aromatics are not the same time as the extraction times for meat bones. With vegetable aromatics, you can add those at the last hour of cooking the broth. For the spices, you could add them at the last 30 minutes to an hour. If you boil these too long, the vegetable aromatics like the onion will start to dissolve into the broth and discolor. For the spices, they can start to impart unpleasant bitterness. And you said you wanted a clear broth but you let this broth boil? Boiling will cause the broth to get cloudy! Also, fish sauce is fermented. If you are not going to eat the pho broth right away, I would avoid adding the fish sauce early because it makes the broth spoil faster, even in refrigeration. I'm willing to bet those beef slices were cut too long because they definitely did NOT fully cook in the broth because even if you added boiling hot broth to a large bowl, you have a cold bowl and cold ingredients in the dish which quickly drops the temperature of the broth down. Theres no rule that says you cannot quickly (for a few seconds) swish the meat slices in the broth which its boiling. These are amateur mistakes…

    Proper technique is the cornerstone of cooking, REGARDLESS of what food you are trying to cook. EVERY chef worth their shit should know this. Do not make interpretations when trying to make an authentic version of a dish. Always focus on understanding how to replicate it first.

  3. Là một người Việt Nam, tôi không công nhận công thức này, do đó đơn giản hơn hãy cứ đến Việt Nam và thưởng thức hương vị chuẩn nhất. Do not make this at home

  4. Some foods are meant for the restaurants. Pho takes up too much time, effort, and ingredients to bother making it at home.

  5. Erm, no garlic and spring onion when you making broth with traditional phở (or at least that what i grew up with), we use shallot and you need to char it 1st, daikon is something optional too, not see many have that but u can add that. And when you char the onion, ginger and shallot we keep the skin on and char that, then peel the burn skin off. About the spice, all correct but my household usually add black cardamom too. About the meat, you can add brisket and simmer it together with broth for long hr. About herb, NO MINT and NO Vietnamese coriander. And we add fish sauce or nước mắm at last not from the start. 1 Last thing, we need that fat, that fast is something ppl pay extra to get on their bowl but i think that because in Vietnam we use marrowbone for extra flavor so the fat taste better.
    Thank for learn and teach other about your style of Phở, above just some tip that my family restaurant used to use, hope it can make your experience better.

  6. As a asian Vietnamese person you did all of the steps right. Im the lion field Vietnamese version now and ill say APROVED

  7. more cardamom is needed. no home cook would have a deli slice,, you threw away the bone marrows along with that delicious savory fat. If this was American Idol, that's a no for me dawg. Auntie Esther and Auntie Thuy will say yes, but they definitely will destroy all the mistakes you made.
