re: My first attempt at real pho w/ pics UPDATE:as promised

Looks good but a few things:

1. No beansprouts?
2. Dice up the cilantro.
3. Use sliced eye of round

I would eat it. I'm surprised you couldn't find rock sugar if you found fish sauce, star anise, coriander, and cardamon. Any Asian market in your area

We have one but it is not very well stocked. There is also a significant language barrier lol. The had the anise and the fish sauce. The other spices came from kroger and walmart of all places.

I am not a big fan of beansprouts. I figured I was the only one eating so i just left them out. Same thing with the hoisin sauce. I can take it or leave it.

Agree. It was fun to do though just for a project.

Next time i probably would just to try it. I happened to have the skirt steak already cooked and i needed to use it. That part came out really really good IMO. I SV it for a long time so it was still med rare but was very tender. That part worth repeating IMO.
