reminder, we do not gatekeep here.

171 Upvotes

no gatekeeping does not mean no advice or constructive criticism. it also does not give anybody the excuse to troll this sub.

constructive criticism should explain why you do not think it's pho. insults and derogatory comments are not helpful.

if you believe the sub does not have enough pictures of what you consider real pho, then be the change you want to see and post your pictures.

no gatekeeping means you don't get to say pho is exactly one specific thing from one specific region. there are many types of pho all over Vietnam. and many types of Vietnamese American style.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pho?wprov=sfla1

for clarity, my process goes: 3-5 comment removal warnings, 3 day ban, 7 day ban, permanent ban. this of course is subject to how severe the infraction. slurs, harassment, threats of violence, and deliberate trolling will escalate up the tiers.

remember we have people from all over the world here and they may not make pho the same way you do.

Question Did I buy the right bones?

Post image

I wanted to make pho at home this weekend so my wife and I made our list and went to the local market but we just realized now at home that we might need specific bones. Will these bones be ok to make the broth? I looked it up and what I've read says we should by specific bones but theres not much of a description on these 😅. Thanks for any help!

Going to try pressure cooker beef pho

Got an insta pot appliance (the one with slow cook and pressure cook and all the buttons ) and want to try pressure cooker pho. I've done it the normal way but want to make a smaller batch in quicker time.

Gonna try out this recipe but lmk what you found works good for you:

Question What size pot are you using?

Post image
9 Upvotes

My biggest stock pot is 16 quarts. It yields about 8 quarts of finished pho broth. Doing the Leighton Method with a 1:1 bone broth. It takes about 48 hours from start to finish. I obviously make batches to freeze portioned out to have Pho whenever I want it. A bigger pot would not take any more time and yield more, but seems like it might get a little unwieldy. Just curious what sized pot you monsters out there are using?

I have to work on my playing but this was one of the best bowls I’ve ever had. I did the garlicky northern style where you stir fry some of the meat in fried garlic and tallow and I’ll do like 10x more garlic next time (I did like half a head for 3 people)

Restaurant Short Rib Pho (Saigon Yum, San Leandro, CA)

Post image
37 Upvotes

Saigon Yum is a modern-Saigon restaurant. The proprietors are recent immigrants. So it benefits from the 50 years of culinary innovation in Saigon since 1975. This restaurant is a favorite among the local Vietnamese immigrant community. It’s known for having an excellent banh my, where the bread is both crispy and fluffy.

Short rib pho combines the richness of short ribs with an already-strong pho broth. We like it a lot. The pho noodles are firm and chewy. It tastes best with some added sate pho and liberal lime juice.

Homemade Pho with Beef Back Rib and Rare Chuck

Post image

For dinner last night I made some pho with beef back ribs and chuck roast. Half the chuck roast I cooked in the broth for well done, tender beef and the other half I thin sliced for rare beef. Of course leftovers made for a nice hardy breakfast this morning.

Side question, how are you guys taking such good pictures of your pho? I have a samsung s23 ultra phone and pictures of food always look so meh. Maybe it's the lighting in my kitchen...

Pho n eggs

Stopped by the ramen place omw to lunch, had 8 eggs and double meat. It was pretty good. The eggs are a softer taste than the pho so they didn’t work together as much as I thought they would. Fun to try, dunno if I would do it again.
