Vietnamese Pho:
Ingredients:
6 cups beef broth or stock
2 inch chunk of ginger , peeled
3/4 teaspoon anise
1 cinnamon stick
2 sliced green onions
1 pound thin sliced beef
Package of rice noodles
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Put all of the broth into the crockpot. Add the meat, green onion, ginger, fish sauce, and spices.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 4-6. It’s done when the meat is fully cooked.
15 minutes before serving, add the entire package of rice noodles to the pot. Push them under the liquid with a wooden spoon, and cover. By the time you set the table, the noodles will be tender and glass-like. Serve in bowls. Add any additional garnish, such as bean sprouts, fresh cilantro or basil, and lime wedges.
