While Luke's recipe is the best I've tried, it does take a good half a day to make. If you want to make an express version of Pho, the
Essential Asian Cookbook (also by Murdoch Books), suggests simmering regular beef stock with spices for 30 minutes before straining and adding noodles and all the extra trimmings. Adapted from Luke Nguyen |
