Quick Pho

Holla I am back again to post a budget friendly + super yummy pho recipe. Another good thing about this , is the ingredients you buy for it will last a long time to keep in the pantry. So if you have the sniffles and want a light yet hearty meal, this is the good stuff to cure what ails you. Pure comfort food , but also healthy! I found this in the drafts section of my blog from two months ago and thought I should post it for those of you who have a pho craving.




Ingredients:
Shaved frozen meat I.e. steak or pork (can be found in the frozen aisle in Superstore, in a clear plastic container. If you can't find it, just fry up a steak and slice it thinly and add to your pho.)
1-2 Chicken/beef stock/cubes
2 Cinnamon sticks
2 Star anise (can be found in the spices aisle)
1/2 Sweet onion
Bunch fresh basil
2 Limes
Hoisin sauce
Sriracha sauce
1 pkg vermicelli noodles





Method:

In a medium sized pot, drizzle in some olive oil and turn up to medium heat.
Add onions sauté until caramelized, add the cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Then add chicken/beef stock (if you're using cubes, sauté with onion until it is caramelized then add in about 4 cups of water).

Bring the mixture to a boil, and add the vermicelli noodles. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, then pick out the cinnamon sticks and star anise. Add in the frozen shaved steak, and transfer to a bowl.

Top with a bunch of fresh basil leaves, squeeze some lime into it, and drizzle with hoisin and sriracha sauce.

My sister gave me that book for my birthday, I've been reading it for a few days. I love it!
