How to make Vietnamese Pho Bo

For recipes, visit www.ciaprochef.com/WCA
In the early morning hours, on side streets and street corners, Hanoi's hard-working cooks begin setting up their pho stations. A soup, a meal, a national treasure-pho is a widespread addiction. Many Vietnamese start the day with a steaming bowl of this divine noodle soup. The essence of pho is a beefy consommé flavored with charred onions and ginger, rock sugar and star anise.

Over the last 3 years Pho has absolutely exploded in popularity in Moscow. Its all over the place. And no wonder. This broth speaks warm words of love to your heart. I consider myself an addict for years now. Also being a huge soup lover, I could literally eat this every day

Thank you for the video. I am from a family of northern Vietnamese and my ancestral family was from Hanoi. Cooking and the history of cooking is my passion. I would like to share something about pho that many people do not know. Pho is from north Vietnam. We never put sugar into our pho broth in beef or chicken pho (hoisin sauce will sweeten your broth). Chicken pho was actually a much more luxury food. Chicken and chicken eggs were one of the most expensive food a Vietnamese can eat so in Vietnam back before the 80s, to top a bowl of pho with a poached egg was like putting caviar on your toast. ALSO, the reason why sugar was added in the south is that many south Vietnamese dish incorporate sugar into their cooking. During the war, food was scarce so to stretch a pot of pho broth, people started to put sugar and a whole daikon into their broth and even dried squid to add a sweetness to the broth to mask the lack of beef bones and meat. Because of that, many people cook pho different ways. However, a true bowl of pho should never have sugar added.

I stayed at a hotel once where there was a Vietnamese restaurant next door. I had delicious pho for 3 days in a row! I was in heaven! Now I know why. Great video!

[@n2kois]

[@redmxpeters7387]

[@vigilance4749]

Pho is so good! I had it 3 months ago, and now I go get it every weekend! It is the next chipotle. its going to take over watch!

[@bv2011]

Very good lesson. What she taught is the art of cooking pho. I appreciate her experience and kindness to share with us the cooking tradition.

[@zerofuks416]

In love with Vietnamese food. Thank you for these lovely dishes ❤️❤️❤️

[@sappysamurai5170]

Excellent in depth explanation chefs! Thank you!! I now understand why mine kept coming out too bitter. The herbs were left in too long. Now I know it should be more than 2-4 hours. So excited to try making it again. Would love some more explorations of Vietnamese food with you guys!! So great!! 💕

[@ArkansasBadBoy]

By far my favorite Vietnamese dish. This is a very delightful video.

[@viriapanda]

what she said at 5:27. for how long should it shimmer?

[@tomchicago]

Being of Vietnamese decent, this is my comfort food. I have and can eat it everyday. I sometimes eat it as breakfast, lunch and dinner.

[@iSitPretty]

+Fun Stuff as can I & I am not even vietnamese.

[@johng5261]

soups have become under appreciated in american culture in the past 25 years. This is something I make at least 2x per week.

[@Beefmongering]

Pho is probably the greatest dish mankind has ever came up with

[@marjoriedombrowski7743]

Fun Stuff

[@MrMaj5757]

Yes it is so good. I like it spicy, that seems to help bring out all of the flavors.

[@SRunni_]

I've always love Pho, It's one of my favorites!!

[@nicolaspinedo3843]

I'm from Perú , I am addicted to this soup.

[@daviddo765]

This is the most authentic way to cook Pho.

[@shamanbeartwo3819]

I was going to make pho at home once and went to the store to get some ox tails. I took one look at the price and thought, I could just walk down the street and get a huge bowl for $3.99. And it comes with cream puffs served before the soup!

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

In Vancouver, I wind up eating pho for dinner mostly or lunch on a day off, but it would be awesome if there were places open for breakfast. It would be a nice wintertime breakfast.

[@kellykerr5225]

As a regular old American, I LOVE this food. I love all of their food.

[@Mmaulin12]

Pho is just....heavenly

[@TruongNguyen-hq6ed]

This is the first time that I have seen Pho done right.

[@jonathanchan3468]

This video is very informative. I am not vietnamese but I love Pho and try to cook by myself.

[@SuperGiangle]

Great teacher, she is not hiding anything !!!!!!!!

[@HanhLonan]

Pho is the best street food around the word

[@yemesirachwolday9543]

The spices looks a lots of amount, but i don't think there is any harm to it . food looks yummy!! we also have similar sup we make back home in Ethiopia. love it.

[@jennylau8888]

[@luizgueiros]

[@naomisanchezbarajas1221]

I can’t wait to try this recipe! I’ve been making Pho and this is so informative. Also, I want to go to Vietnam. I’m in love with this culture. Thanks!

[@damn671]

Pho and Tacos is everyone's comfort food in California.

[@JimiHendrix998]

This is an adaptation of the French "Pot au feu". A dish introduced to the country during the French occupation of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam (lasting almost 100 years) when it was known as French Vietnam. Thank you for the video and thank you to the Vietnamese for doing something truly wonderful with a warming French broth. I prefer to roast the bones first for a richer flavour.

[@TrungNguyen-zm8ze]

The hardest part is cooking the soup, and it's hard to imitate the original flavor from Vietnam. Chef have to boil bones for hours, add ingredients of exact quantity at the right time.

[@InfiniteAthletics]

My mouth is watering after watching this video...

[@MerkinMuffly]

This lady knows what she's doing.

[@khiemton6171]

I have cooked a lot of pho. I have ate a lot of pho. I love it so much that my friends cook it for me for every celebratory / special occasion meal. This is exactly the way that I was taught to make it 25 years ago.

[@swicheroo1]

This woman is the real deal.

[@andURanASS]

[@thatthien250]

Northern Vietnam is Hanoi you will find Phở Central Vietnam is Hue you will find Bún bò South Vietnam is TP.HoChiMinh you will find Cơm tấm Enjoy other three typical dishes and other delicious dishes our and try desserts called Chè

[@eliottcosti4589]

Simmering the beef bone broth with herbs over the night! Pho is probably the most elaborate, flavorful, and delicious (and the healthiest) soup in the food world.

[@brandonhuston6350]

I love the basil in my Pho but I do not break it up and eat it. I leave the leaves on the stem and let it steep in the bowl and that gives the perfect amount of flavor enhancement for me. You could probably roll the leaves in your hands before putting them in and that would be good also.

[@MsWonderfullife19]

Yes Vietnamese are good in making noodles taste good I remembered in 70s many Vietnamese refugees in the Philippines living in Palawan ( now one of the best tourists attraction in the world) their livelihood is noodle factory.

[@laurashaffeaur8382]

We have visited Vietnam several times and Pho in Vietnam is just incomparable. Probably, the availability of the local ingredients like fresh herbs and noodles, make the divine noodle soup in Vietnam become exceptionally delicious.

[@pahanin2480]

I would be happy to have this intravenously throughout the day

[@Audrianne53]

I loved the full on info here. I wish I would have watched this video first before starting.

[@stevewallis661]

This lady is the Gordon Ramsay of pho cooking! Wish the dumpy pho places in my city would watch this vid! Props to her! Great vid!

[@mortsey]

In Southern Thailand I have had this dish made with fish. Pho Bo (beef) however is the very best.

[@davidv9348]

This lady is the real deal!

[@ThanhNguyen-gk4nu]

Your true about everyone in Vietnam love pho and rice (I call it gum or gom)

[@joshuabriel9250]

im not a vietnamese but i always love going to a Vietnamese Restaurant to eat my favorite Pho soup

[@regankatona9654]

*Pho, the world's yummiest thing that could have existed ! 😋*

[@bzz5601]

I dearly miss a restaurant I would visit every chance I could. They changed over the years because of popularity, but in the beginning they would simmer their broth for 3 days. It was so incredible, I never looked back and loved Asian food since. I miss that place. You can never go home again.

[@konalily]

Beautifully prepared and explained steps. Thank you for sharing!

[@nevashiva2084]

[@darrellsadler2848]

I loved this demonstration...it took away from a lot of the mystery behind the GREAT PHO!~ Thank you for this!

[@farisasmith7109]

Every culture has its soup. And so far I haven't had a soup that I didn't like. They always have a delicious broth whether clear or cloudy. From Jamaican chicken foot soup, Japanese udon, Jewish matzah ball, to Vietnamese pho. It's all good!

[@erinc9881]

She is the best pho chef I've ever watched!

[@ranesantana]

This is my absolute favorite dish. Right now I'm in the process of making it myself for the first time. Can't wait to try it.

[@Micrig452124]

Wow this is my favorite asian food. Can eat this dish all day long. Thank you sooooo much for the video

[@aj-qm2on]

She's using the Three Crabs brand of nouc mam/fish sauce. 😋🤗

[@levitabacug3377]

Countries with Vietnamese presence introduced Pho to the locals and become an instant hit. In Australia, Pho soups is becoming everywhere now.

[@ezekiel318]

7:45 two cinnamon sticks, 1 cardamon, 1 tbs. fennel, 1 tbs coriander seeds, 6 cloves, 6 star anise

[@chefshane5261]

+Ezekiel David at that time on the video there is no confirmation of the amounts as you have given, furthermore if you stop the video and take a look, theres a lot more than 6 star anise, I counted 12+

[@ezekiel318]

what do you mean?

[@mail4tung]

I eat PHO every weekend...my best Vietnamese dish.

[@08missaka]

I love the traditiinal Vietnamese pho, it's has a great flavor!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@amyfrankle5773]

I love Pho soup they are my favorite .👍👍😋😋😋

[@Smilealot62]

Really enjoyed you both conversing & making the dish 👍🏾

[@ItsMeRhaine]

mmm I like that rare steak pho with some hoison, sriracha, and little bit of jalapenos YUM

[@rr6013]

Mai Pham taught me how to cook after diagnosed Celiac. I thank you Mai. Anyone can do the same buying your Vietnamese- Thai cooking cookbook. A simple tonb of knowledge, wealth of experience and as witnessed in this video; attention to what is important to learn.❤️

[@abdulrahmanabdulghani8833]

Am going to Ho Chi Minh soon.Missed Pho so much

[@carlosfigueroa790]

Best wishes from Guatemala City.

[@BLR1GBattlemaster]

Very good stuff. Personally, I add the spices for just the last 30 minutes. She's right. If you put it in too early, the flavor becomes muddy.

[@La__Rat]

3:50. She is so wrong about roasting the bonein the oven. Yes, it willmake ghe broth darker, but not cloudy. Roasting the bone will give you better broth.

[@carmenhaworth2695]

I love Pho! I am going to give it a try to make some... Yum!

[@quangcaythuelqmb2306]

Thanks for this video we love you

[@eggmine130]

Great video. I now realize I should just go to Vietnamese restaurants and order pho instead of making it myself.

[@TheOriginalDarkGlitch]

Pho is the most comforting breakfast I have ever had.

[@jeremytheonlyone]

The herbs is great especially it assist to settle the gastro-intestine in reduction of acidity due to over consumption of calories in our food. At certain age, some people just no longer burn enough calories and having belching and flatulence issue during and also after their meal. So, the herbs really help a lot to prevent that.

[@leisureai7258]

Very love Vietnamese food

[@kkoreatheempressayhung6764]

I like when she said " to throw the rest of the spices in the pot" like translation waste not want not. I love this broth cooked slowly. I really appreciate her explaining everything.This is definitely something people healing their stomach issue should consider and do. This will give my stomach lining a great immunity boost. I think I'm in love haha 😊 I love cooking food over time like this. I will definitly try this. Thank you for sharing. 😸👍.

[@INTEGRITY273]

That lady is really knowledgeable.

[@nenengbarrow7468]

So amazing food loved it.❤️

[@ArunaKhudan]

She explains it so well, all the nuances

[@evad.7913]

this is the real deal!

[@dash-4150]

Great stuff, I haven't had a good bowl of this for over a decade, add some fishy sauce and lots fishy chilly paste and I'm in heaven! Some Vietnamese lumpia on the side, so good your tongue will knock your eyeballs out

[@mac9177]

My friend introduced me to the Vietnamese cuisine and I became a Pho’s lover. I went to Vietnam last year and I visited every Pho’ restaurant during my stay over there. sorry mom your cook is nice however PHO’ is amazing.

[@RICEFISHSAUCE]
