Pho rhymes with -

Has anyone here cooked phở before?

I usually prepare my broth with sweet onions, garlic, loads of ginger, star anise, salt, fish oil, shank and knuckle bones. I then add a toasted spice mix of fresh ground coriander seeds, cinnamon, clove, fennel, cardamom and peppercorns. After letting all those essentials boil then simmer for 10 hours, I then strain out all the fat and spent parts before adding bánh canh or Udon noodles and boiling until soft.

I can never eat the amount prepared in one sitting, so I usually have tons of leftovers. One problem I have is that the broth always congeals into a thick gelatinous substance upon refrigeration that never turns liquid ever after five minutes in the microwave.

What tips do you have to render the broth soupy again? I've done some cursory research and apparently others hyperboil their phở initially before straining then reboiling and simmering.

Any/all help sincerely appreciated.

Its a Vietnamese noodle soup. Its a rich beef broth with thin rice noodles, onion, green onion, and cilantro. It can come with various types of beef, you can name any part of a cow and it can go in your pho. They serve basil, jalapeno, bean sprouts and lime on the side for you to add yourself. It's fantastic.

Is Pho the single most overrated dish in existence? This isn't just me being a dick either, Im so genuinely confused why people worship this. It's just average tasting.

What are some other notoriously overrated dishes?
