Pho is comfort food, although personally, I'm not into soupy stuff. When I went to Hanoi last year, I got to taste Pho Ga (chicken pho), and it was the cleanest soup I've ever tasted (if that makes sense). I feel like their food is so healthy that even they have meat, you have the veggies to offset it as well.

[@damiann4734]

Yep vietnamese is about balance. Everything needs to be balanced. Including your way of life.

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

Well, meat is not unhealthy. Why are you so afraid of it?

[@damiann4734]

@@GeorgiaAndrea what she meant was that meals that only have meat is unhealthy or unbalanced. Because you need mineral and vitamins from vegetables which you don't just get from meat.

[@michellemariecampbell8153]

Thank you for teaching me how to make pho. I make it all the time now. I have a short cut. I make a tone of beef broth and chicken broth once a month and freeze it in portion sizes. Makes pho quick and easy when I'm in the mood or for other recipes.

[@Yearite84]

This recipe is almost perfect👌🏻 i follow this recipe every time I make pho and it’s delicious 🤤 except for one thing - I only use 1-2 star anise, they’re very flavorful and you don’t need that many, in my opinion.

[@bearpawz_]

Agree on the anise stars.... as well as some chopped cilantro. Yum! 😋

[@ramseysom6765]

@@bearpawz_ Totally agree with you and the same as cinnamon stick. I only use one or two star anise and half cinamon stick.

[@Jolene37]

Your channel brings me so much joy! Your passion for food and your creativity is unmatched! It's beyond me why The Food Network hasn't scooped you up yet! I've been watching them for years and never been as excited as when I'm watching one of your recipes! And I'm a huge foodie, lol! I love that you make really authentic, Asian dishes and not just the typical ones everyone knows. Please make vietnamese Thit Kho and Bun Bo Hue!

[@camerontyler1174]

This is all great. What I would recommend though, to lightly roast the bones instead of doing the first boil, then adding everything in that baking tray into the pot to make the broth. This adds a bit more flavour to the dish

[@mariamtee]

Yes!

[@no7puppetcollection]

I love that Marion knows what’s up when it comes to cooking noodles and puts so much emphasis on how to cook them in her vids. Noodles are where a lot of dishes get that substantial “bulk” from so to see her so diligently explain to people who probably don’t know how to cook them is really lovely.

[@thekissangel]

I love all of your recipes as I can see you put lot of efforts into every single video you have made. We need a lot of KZbinr like you. Really hard-working. Send to you lot of respects. Fantastic work as always.

[@AdamKnightAus]

Such a great comfort food on rainy days... or even sunny days. Thank you for sharing.

[@khanhngocpham9170]

I am Vietnamese and I have to tell that this is the best recipe of Pho from foreign Chef so far!! ❤️

[@stevenmottola497]

I enjoy watching your videos after work on most nights. Your voice and commentating are warm and genuine. You have great dishes. You follow different ethnic food ingredients without so much changing them, and that is important. Keep up the good work.

[@thuyvuong9874]

"Fuh" is all about the broth. :) The recipe looks really good and authentic. You should make Bun bo hue, it's the least known Vietnamese soup but equally as delicious if not better if you like spicy beef soups. :)))

[@Jolene37]

Yes!!!

[@flaubertot]

U are damn right. Bun bo hue is just heaven on earth. The making is fun!!

[@pb.j.1753]

I’m vietnamese and bun bo hue is overrated

You're welcome Bernie! I hope you enjoy making it!

My DIL is Vietnamese and her family makes the broth with chicken but still serves it with the thinly sliced beef. It is wonderful. Thanks for another great video!

Drooling as I was watching this. I’ve made other Vietnamese noodle soups, but phở is still intimidating. Thank you for the beautiful video.

Hi Marion, you can also toast the herbs too, before you add them into the pot. Your pho looks great!

You’re so well spoken and you don’t sugarcoat things when you describe the result of the initial boil. You’re a breath of fresh air! I strive to be more articulate and have the same way with words you do. Can you do a Vietnamese Chicken Salad “Gỏi Gà” in the future? :)

PHO IS ONE OF MY Favorite vietnamese dish. The best one I've had has been in NY China town. Its hard to find some good Pho here in Florida. I made this one for being the first time it came out pretty good. Needed a little bit more seasoning in the broth but other than that not bad. Thanks for the recipe

Im Vietnamese Im surprised when you can make my country soup look the beef soup high quality and yummy respect and support your channel

[@viendung0808]

Your broth technique is so on point. Clear and flavourful broth. Like you, I don’t add fish sauce during the simmering, I added right before the final assembly. I have invested in a Japanese Vacuum Insulate Thermo pot ( not same as Insta Pot) best gadget to own if you cooked broth every week. After the bone came to a full boil on the stove top, then I placed in the Thermo pot and forget it for four hours later. The result is simply perfect 👌, clear broth and lots of beef flavour. Watch you every week. ❤️ from the frozen north, Canada.

There's a vietnamese noodle soup which adds lemon grass. It's called bun bo hue.

@@damiann4734 I’m Vietnamese and I usually order that or Bun Rieu and sometimes pho, and many other dishes. Can’t decide which dish I want to get every time cause it’s all good 😌. I also love to cook, so I know what is in Vietnamese dishes most of it 😊. Thanks for letting me know anyways.

[@doodahgurlie]

Looks great, Marion. I'd add whole coriander seeds along with a black cardamom pod and toast it with the other aromatics. When serving, I'd slice up cilantro with the green onions. And that broth should cook on very low heat for at least 8 hours to get all the goodness extracted from the bones. :)

[@omggiiirl2077]

I was thinking the same thing. Her recipe was lacking.

[@carly9926]

Sounds like you got that from Joshua weissman’s video

[@gbbnick1152]

2nd that, i make a lot of Ramen as well.. my Philosophy for broth is basically if you don't plan to spend a minimum of 8-10 hours then you should not bother at all and go eat on a restaurant instead. These recipes are meant for the average person that can't spend more than 2-3 hours in the kitchen.

[@roysam2710]

You are the best. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Kids went to school already, eating my kue tiaw with beef soup while watching you make pho.love my morning

[@MAGiiCSTiiCK]

I LOVE adding a couple tablespoons of peanut butter to my pho (sriracha and hoisin too). That beefy, nutty, spicy, flavor is AMAZING. When I eat pho at a restaurant, I can't help but think it would taste so much better with a big scoop of peanut butter. Also, it's crazy how I've eaten ginger all my life and have never seen it roasted like that. I will try that out next time I make pho at home. Thanks!

[@doodahgurlie]

There's a pho version where they add sate that has peanut butter in it. I've not had it, but I heard it's delicious! Go watch Quang Tran's channel where he showed this a couple of months ago.

[@Marionskitchen]

That's so awesome! I've never tried with peanut butter!! I'm SO trying that! Thanks!

[@marinadiamant9929]

Marion Thank you for the amazing recipes all these years. I am a huge fan. Ive decided to make this amazing and warming boll of soup. I had bone broth already in my fridge and made it at home.

YESSSSS! I agree ... a good pho doesn't need the sriracha and hoisin. A good pho broth should be able to stand on it's own and be appreciated.
