I have really - like really, REALLY - gotten into Vietnamese food lately.
When I was New York last November during one horribly windy day when me and my friends were hungover, by chance we fell into Saigon Shack - if you're ever New York, you should definitely go here. Each of us ordered a bowl of Pho and it was exactly what we wanted; the hot spicy broth was full of different meats and vegetables. Since coming back to the UK I've been determined to make it, and despite what I had thought, it's quite easy to make. It takes about two hours in total, but well worth the effort.
This is a great video I found on YouTube explaining how to make this Vietnamese thing of beauty.... The List For the broth 16 cups of water 3 inch piece of giner 1 small peeled onion 2.5 tablespoons of salt 3 tablespoons of sugar 3.5 pounds of chicken
The Spices 1 tablespoon of corainder seeds 5 star anise 1 whole cinnamon stick 7 cloves 1/3 tea spoon of cumin seeds 1 tea spoon of black pepper corns
Noodles Pho noodles or any of your choice
To serve Thai basil Bean sprouts Fresh coriander Lime wedges Sliced red union Spring onions 2 tablespoons of fish sauce Chilli sauce
