It\u2019s perfect for a cold day &#8211; but I\u2019ll admit I love it in the summer too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally pho is made with beef broth and it can sometimes be challenging to find a vegetarian option. But it\u2019s so easy to make at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The broth is truly the star of any good pho. I highly recommend making this with whole spices, rather than ground.&nbsp; The broth gets its smoky flavor from charred onion and ginger. The spices, onions, and ginger get strained out before you add the rest of your ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add any veggies you like, but I used baby bok choy, sliced carrots, sugar snap peas, and shiitake mushrooms. I add tofu for some protein but you can omit the tofu or add meat if you prefer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used thin rice noodles for this so it\u2019s gluten free. This is what is typically used in pho, but there are also recipes that use shirataki noodles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOTES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>This recipe calls for vegan fish sauce. If you\u2019re not vegan you can use regular fish sauce. If you don\u2019t have either on hand, sub 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar and two teaspoons of tamari or soy sauce if not gluten free.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Serve your pho in a big bowl. You\u2019ll add in the noodles first, then broth, then top with any garnishes you like.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Unlike other soups, the garnishes are added for extra flavor rather than for presentation. I used sliced fresh jalapenos, but you could sub serrano peppers.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Pho is eaten with chopsticks and a spoon for the broth.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">INSTRUCTIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To make the broth, first broil your onion and ginger for 10 minutes. Brush the cut side of the onion and ginger with olive oil and broil on high until charred.<\/li><li>Meanwhile, in a large pot toast the star anise, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, coriander seeds, and cloves for 3-5 minutes or until fragrant.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Once the onion and ginger is charred, add to the large stock pot and add the 8 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30-45 minutes.&nbsp;<\/li><li>While the broth is simmering, cook the noodles as directed on the package. Rinse with cold water and stir in a little olive oil so that it doesn\u2019t stick. Set aside.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Saute the sliced shiitake mushrooms. These do not have to cook all the way, as they\u2019ll continue cooking in the broth later. Set aside.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Once your broth is ready, add fish sauce and salt.<\/li><li>Add veggies and tofu to the broth and cook until the veggies are tender to your liking.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Next you\u2019re ready to assemble your pho! Add \u00bc of the noodles to a large bowl. Ladle in the veggies, tofu, and broth. Top with desired garnishes and serve immediately.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>NOTE: If you plan to eat this later, store the broth, noodles, and garnishes separately so the noodles keep their consistency.&nbsp;<meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":15394,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","course":[411,410],"cuisine":[],"special-diet":[415],"skill-level":[418],"collection":[],"recipe-tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-15393","1":"recipe","2":"type-recipe","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"course-dinner","7":"course-lunch","8":"special-diet-vegan","9":"skill-level-hard"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/15393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15393"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/15393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16749,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/15393\/revisions\/16749"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"course","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course?post=15393"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine?post=15393"},{"taxonomy":"special-diet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/special-diet?post=15393"},{"taxonomy":"skill-level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/skill-level?post=15393"},{"taxonomy":"collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection?post=15393"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-tag?post=15393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
