I'd like to make my own.
Anyone have a recipe. Obviously there are tons online, but wondering which ones are good and others have tried.

Any recipe containing beef bones, charred onions, ginger, star anise is legit. Cinnamon sticks optional. Add salt and fish sauce to fit your taste.

Remember dump your initial boil of the bones, clean them so you'll have a clearer broth.

the Food Lab's pressure cooker chicken pho is great and done in 30 minutes. LINK
Andrea Nguyen/Viet World Kitchen is my go-to source for modern Viet-American home cooking. Her recipes are solid & easy to follow: https://www.vietworldkitchen.com/blog/2008/10/pho-beef-noodle-soup.html
If you want one good all purpose vietnamese cookbook, her Into the Vietnamese Kitchen is a great one.

Not many know that I recently discovered a totally unknown class of Ramen.



I took the wife to an all you can eat Chinese food bar just down the street from Bass Pro Shop in Pearl yesterday (Ichaban). I enjoyed much too much and have given up all food consumption for a few days, so I would prefer to not think of Pho today.

How many are you feeding?

If its just 1-2 for a couple meals, its not worth the effort and expense.

My recipe is really easy ...

Pho 89 on Old Norcross in Lawrenceville, just off of Sugarloaf.

Done.

Nah, I still don't want to think about pho, either. Can't get dairy out of my mind, though.

Does all Pho use star anise and cinnamon? Two of my my most hated spices, and I really want to try it.

Will have to try when I am up there.

Flying Monk Noodle Bar is my go to in Savannah.

It probably isn't worth making actually. $8 for a big bowl at Flying Monk.

Star anise is a pretty prominent flavor of it, yes.

No--star anise and cinnamon are the dominant flavor notes in beef pho (pho bo), but if you look at Andrea Nguyen's chicken pho recipe, you'll see that it uses ginger, onion, coriander seeds, and cloves...but no cinnamon or star anise. She writes about how her family uses different spices when making chicken pho vs beef pho. See recipe here: LINK

It took me a good minute to see the bowl of pho but who puts fried shallots(hanh phi) and cilantro in pho?

Was a primary ingredient in some of the recipes I saw.

Many places in Houston put a sprig or two but it's not overwhelming. Lots of Thai basil is my favorite addition

In my household, we substitute cilantro with green onions. It never goes in pho but in hu thieu(pho's little brother). I think cilantro will throw the flavor of the broth off.
