Make Spicy and Refreshing Beef Brisket Pho Effortlessly with NoBrand’s Convenient Vietnamese Pho Set
Hello everyone! My family loves pho, so I decided to make Vietnamese pho at home using the NoBrand convenient set. I’d heard great reviews about it, so I bought it myself – a genuine ‘buy with my own money’ review! The cooking process is incredibly simple and offers excellent value for money. I added some ingredients I already had at home, and the result was even tastier than what you get at restaurants. If you’re a fan of Vietnamese pho, give this easy recipe a try at home!
Ingredients- NoBrand Vietnamese Pho Convenient Set (for 2 servings)
- Beef brisket, 200g
- Bean sprouts, 250g
- Onion, 1/2
- Cheongyang chili peppers, 2
- Scallions, a small bunch
- Culantro (or cilantro), a small bunch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start with the ‘NoBrand Vietnamese Pho Convenient Set’ for 2 servings. This kit makes it easy to create authentic pho in your own kitchen.
Step 2
Unpack your set! You’ll find 2 portions of pho noodles, 2 packets of vegetable powder, and 2 packets of sauce. This thoughtful combination simplifies the cooking process significantly.
Step 3
Boil water for the noodles: Bring a generous amount of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the pho noodles and gently separate them with chopsticks. Cook for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become mushy.
Step 4
Drain the noodles: Carefully drain the cooked noodles in a colander. Removing excess water helps the noodles absorb the broth beautifully.
Step 5
Prepare the bean sprouts: Rinse 250g of fresh bean sprouts under cold running water until clean. Their crisp texture will add a delightful contrast to the soft noodles.
Step 6
Make the broth (per serving): In a pot, combine 320ml of water with the vegetable powder and sauce from the set. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. You can adjust the amount of water to suit your taste preference – use less water for a more concentrated flavor or more for a lighter broth.
Step 7
Add the beef: Once the broth is boiling, add the 200g of sliced beef brisket. Feel free to add more beef if you like, or omit it entirely if preferred. Customize it to your liking!
Step 8
Add aromatics for flavor: Toss in the half-sliced onion and 2 finely chopped Cheongyang chili peppers into the boiling broth. Simmering these ingredients will infuse the broth with a wonderful sweetness and a pleasant kick, creating a rich and flavorful base.
Step 9
Assemble the bowl: Place one portion of the drained pho noodles into your serving bowl.
Step 10
Pile on the bean sprouts: Generously top the noodles with the prepared bean sprouts. They’ll wilt slightly from the heat of the broth, adding a lovely texture.
Step 11
Pour in the hot broth: Ladle the steaming hot, prepared broth generously over the noodles and bean sprouts until they are mostly submerged. The hot broth will gently cook the bean sprouts and release their fresh aroma.
Step 12
Garnish and finish: Sprinkle with chopped scallions and culantro (or cilantro) for a beautiful and flavorful finish. If you enjoy the distinct taste of cilantro, add fresh cilantro leaves to your liking.
Step 13
Enjoy your delicious pho! The combination of tender noodles, crisp bean sprouts, and the spicy, refreshing broth is incredibly satisfying. Eating it with the beef makes it even more special. The broth is wonderfully invigorating, perfect for clearing your senses.
Step 14
Enjoy authentic Vietnamese pho easily at home, anytime!
