Recipe Summary
This South Vietnamese style pho brings comfort with every sip and slurp. It's a restorative, richly seasoned broth ladled over rice noodles and thinly sliced beef and served with a host of crisp, tangy, spicy, sweet, and fragrant garnishes.
The version you see here has been adapted slightly from LETT101's original with insights from Allrecipes friend and Vietnamese cookbook author Andrea Nguyen and tested in our Allrecipes test kitchens. We specified the amount of ginger and charred the onion and ginger before adding them to the broth. "That partially cooks those aromatics and kind of mellows things out," says Nguyen. "It's the backbone of the broth."
This version also calls for beef soup bones rather than beef knuckle, which can be harder to find, and is served with the more traditional hoisin sauce rather than the plum sauce mentioned in the original.
