Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the broth, water, coriander, clove, fish sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic paste, cinnamon stick and a pinch of fresh cracked salt and pepper to the pot. Bring to a slow boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare noodles according to package instructions. Once soft, drain, rinse and set aside. Ready the garnishes in individual small bowls for serving: cilantro, basil, green onions, bean sprouts, lime wedges and sliced chilies. 1-5 minutes before the broth is done cooking, add desired meat to the broth to cook, just until done (2-3 minutes for raw, thinly sliced chicken or pork, 1-2 minutes for shrimp or thinly sliced steak). Discard the ginger, clove, cinnamon stick and onion pieces from the pot. Divide the noodles among bowls; ladle broth on top (and meat). Add desired toppings. Beef Pho (phở bò): ½ pound sirloin steak, flank steak or brisket, sliced very thinly and seasoned with salt and pepper. Chicken Pho (phở gà): Slice 1-2 boneless, skinless breasts into very thin pieces, against the grain. Season with salt and pepper. Pork Pho: Season a 1 lb pork tenderloin with salt and pepper and sear in a little bit of oil in a very hot pan until browned on all sides (about 10 minute). Allow to rest while broth cooks and then slice into very thin slices. Shrimp: raw, shells removed. #cookin #cook #cookwithme #dinner #dinnerideas #dinnerwithme #mealprep #mom #momsoftiktok #motherhood #cooking #cookingtiktok #cookingvideo #cookingtok
