Another (interesting) variation, except this time not using a store bought packet of SEASONINGS.

Though, I am disappointed by his pronunciation of pho.

Tomorrow I'll be sure to set-up my tripod and take pics of me preparing my pho. I have the ingredients, and I got the time.

AWESOME!
Call me man and say how it went haha, take pics and i wanna know the recipe for the broth brotha, see how much it changes from my own

[jquirit]

Ooops. I kinda forgot to take pics. Then again, 8 hours of pics of a simmering pot ain't all that exciting, either! Started the simmer at 9am, and figure to have it done simmering somewhere around 4-5pm (all depends on when my ex-coworker and his wife shows up).

I'll take a pic of one when it's finally bowled up. That's fine, Sam?

Not sure if anyone mentioned it already but order the vietnamese drip coffee after your meal. It's great and refreshing.

Vietnamese iced coffee is awesome! Usually you order it during your meal that way you have till your Pho is finished for the coffee to drip

Yeah I guess similar. Like Mugen said it's this metal thing over a cup with evaporated millk. The coffee drips slowly in. You get this very concentrated brew. Good stuff. You can buy the coffee, I think most places uses Cafe Dumonde...not sure if I got the spelling correct.

Well, my ex-coworker and his wife raved about it. Came out very good. I was happy with the results. Though next time, I need to remember to soak only half of a package of banh pho noodles (an entire package is TOO much).

So the dish consisted of my pho broth, noodles, viet meatballs with tendon inside, thin sliced (raw) top round, the simmered oxtail meat from the broth, Thai basil, bean sprouts, a squeeze of lime, a bit of hoisin sauce, and a bit of Siraccha.

So freaking good. Now my belly is full and content.

Well, I did invite Andy, his wife, and his kid... but they didn't make it.

And it's great pho. Not just good. Oh, and here's an interesting tidbit. You know, when you refrigerate the broth, it turns into gelatin? Found that out when I took out a small bowl of broth I refrigerated so I can have another bowl tonight for dinner.

this is true its what gives broth that.. well.. thick mouth feel even though it is still stock/broth...both meat and bones, compared to water.

Bones have HIGH gelatin content

miss ya brotha, if only you lived in the middle of the U.S.. i would be driving past you place all the time !


NOW whats this recipe.. and how does it battle against your fav. pho house...

I'm going to eat pho Saturday morning to cure my hangover.
