Simple Pho - white onion

Method

• To get the pho seasoning, you will probably have to go to an Asian food market. It will say pho on it, and is either a powder or cubed, like bouillon. You can see the kind I use in the main picture. Everything else is available at most grocery stores.
• Chop up the green onion and pull leaves off the cilantro. Thinly slice onion.
• Slice steak as thinly as possible. This is easier if you put it in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Set all ingredients aside.
• In one large pot, boil water for rice noodles.
• In another pot, measure out water for pho seasoning per instructions. Note: the instructions will differ depending on what brand you use. For four people, you need about 10 cups of broth.
• Boil seasoning and noodles in the pot for about 5 minutes.
• Drain noodles.
• Prepare your heat-proof bowl by adding cooked rice noodles, onion, green onion, cilantro, and RAW steak! Add as much of each ingredient as you like.
• Ladle the boiling pho broth over the ingredients of the bowl. This should cook your steak if the broth is really boiling.
• At this point you can add any of the following optional toppings. These are usually served with the pho at restaurants:
• -Sriracha sauce
• -Hoisin sauce
• -jalapenos
• -basil
• -lime juice
• -bean sprouts
• -more cilantro!
• Eat up! If you have them, use chopsticks and those funky Asian soup spoons. If not, forks and spoons work, too!
