Cookthink makes Pho at home |
|
Filed under: Beef, South Asia, On the Blogs, How To 
Last week I mentioned that Pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) is one of my favorite cold weather foods. I love the warm, anise-scented broth next to the cool crunch of the fresh bean sprouts and herbs. However, it's one of those dishes that I think of as restaurant-only. I've never attempted to make it, mostly because I know the broth is fairly labor-intensive.
The level of work that it required didn't scare away Brys from Cookthink (it appears that he rarely shies away from complex cooking projects, a trait that endears his blogging to me) and it looks like he created something tasty and close to authentic (except, where's the star anise? *). For those of you who have never made consommé, his narration and pictures will help you navigate those tricky waters.
Me, I'm just looking forward to the next time I can get down to South Philly for a steaming bowl of Pho.
*Even though I read Brys' post three times, I missed the star anise until a commenter pointed it out to me. My mistake!Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
