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.

This woman has such broad and deep knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine. I really appreciate hearing her talk!

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

[@kellykerr5225]

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

[@carlhan9500]

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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@damn671]

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

[@redmxpeters7387]

My Mom use to own Pho Restaurant in Viet nam we use that much spices for a very very big pot of soup for about 300 bowls of soup .

[@TheOriginalDarkGlitch]

Pho is the most comforting breakfast I have ever had.

[@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!

[@joaniev8787]

The Vietnamese people are so friendly, so gracious, so lovely, so kind, so humorous, so welcoming. I LOVE VIETNAM! I am so thankful that this virus has not crippled them. They are good people, they are exemplary!!!!!

[@joshuabriel9250]

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

[@levitabacug3377]

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

[@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.

[@Mmaulin12]

Pho is just....heavenly

[@n2kois]

She is soo knowledgeable and informative. Love her!

[@NyTheCook]

Visited Vietnam a few years back and was a beautiful country. Pho was always the go-to dish

[@servicarrider]

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.

[@htempe]

I am Vietnamese and I was wandering how to make pho, but I finally found the way how to make it.

[@ArunaKhudan]

She explains it so well, all the nuances

[@jimallen3392]

Been to Vietnam several times now. The food is out of this world!

[@nicolaspinedo3843]

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

[@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.❤️

[@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.

[@joaniev8787]

Bahn Mi and Pho! The best of Vietnam! I love Vietnam, I would visit every year!

[@swicheroo1]

This woman is the real deal.

[@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!

[@Micrig452124]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@mybleachhouse]

I suppose if I were really hungry a bowl of hot water with some onions and spices would hit the spot. The 10 grams of beef in it would just be the icing on the cake.

[@viriapanda]

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

[@ArkansasBadBoy]

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

[@AlqGo]

I never thought I would find such a great tutorial video on how to make authentic Pho. Excellent stuff!

[@HanhLonan]

Pho is the best street food around the word

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@darrellsadler2848]

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

[@user-micfco2486]

Pho is the most genius food of all east Asia. Simple ingredients create such complex and comforting flavors, and it's subtle. It's just brilliant! I'd known a Japanese colleague for 5 years and he ate Pho for lunch every single day. But I get that totally. It's just too good.

[@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.

[@sconet7634]

She is the best! So thorough! Thanks for explaining everything. Now, I want to get the ingredients and make it today!

[@konalily]

Beautifully prepared and explained steps. Thank you for sharing!

[@jennylau8888]

Thank you for your thorough tutorial. This is awesome!

[@ladydiora]

The way she talks about food made my mouth water

[@tonycrawford9182]

You just don't know how eager I am to be able to prepare this dish. It is an extreme favorite of mine. I had a tennis partner for 6 years from Vietnam, once he introduced me to this heavenly healthy meal, I at least order out twice a week. 4 times a month. Thank you !

[@mail4tung]

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

[@zerofuks416]

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

[@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.

[@Smilealot62]

Really enjoyed you both conversing & making the dish 👍🏾

[@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!

[@pyt1010]

I could listen to her and watch her cook anything. She Seems so knowledgeable. Now I need some phô

[@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.

[@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. 😸👍.

[@SuperGiangle]

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

[@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!! 💕

[@fuckurbody]

Hands down the best pho recipe & explanations here on youtube. Thank u

[@chfar072281]

Its great seeing how well people can work together. Both learning, both loving what they do.

[@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.

[@daviddo765]

This is the most authentic way to cook Pho.

[@Sokx41]

What is especially tasty in this dish, beside the broth, is the bones that after cooking for hours can actually soften so much that the hard bone can be eaten or chewed to squeeze out additional flavor. Then of course there is the gristle and collagen that gets so soft and yummy. I was "involved" in a Vietnamese restaurant in Honolulu in the 1970s.

[@logananderson6430]

Genius👍 I love Pho 🍲 and I can eat it everyday.

[@jboy2621]

Man,, I call Pho the "Bowl of Happiness". Pho, Ramen, Udon, and Soba. I can't get enough!!!

[@christinelewis5765]

So many great little tips, thank you! I LOVE Pho 💟

[@tteariki330]

Thank you so very much for sharing your experience, skill and knowledge. this is definitely my favourite Vietnamese food. absolutely love it 👍. I love how you explain the method in layman's term so that it's easier to follow. it's not only about having all the ingredients, but the application and sequence of each ingredient. I know that it will take me time to fully understand the process and constructing of the dish, but whats important, is trying to do it....

[@JJ-gc8du]

Nice video; lots of great details. You answered my questions as they came up, while you talked about each stage. Good work.

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

[@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.

[@paulpoche8440]

The best food I have ever eaten.....is Pho 🍲

[@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.
