Ingredients
Preparation
Halve the onion (1) and cut the ginger (20 g) into coarse slices, then roast them in a pot without fat until dark – this gives the broth wonderful depth, meow!
Pour in the vegetable broth (600 ml) and add the star anise (1) and cinnamon stick (1), letting everything simmer for about 20 minutes.
While the broth is infusing, soak the rice noodles (100 g) in hot water according to the package instructions, then rinse briefly with cold water.
Season the broth with soy sauce (15 ml) and remove the spices, onion pieces, and ginger using a sieve.
Distribute the noodles into a bowl and pour the hot broth over them.
Cut the spring onion (1) into fine rings and pluck the cilantro (5 g) to garnish the soup.
Finally, squeeze the juice of the lime (0.5) fresh over your Pho for that perfect, zesty kick.
