Cuisine: Vietnamese

Pho (pronounced fahr) is a light, fragrant soup eaten for breakfast and all through the day. It is a most loved dish by the Vietnamese. The secret lies in the quality of the stock. Angie uses a combination of marrow bone, oxtail, brisket and a boiler chicken along with cinnamon, star anise and cardamom pods. But her secret ingredient is dried sandworm!

Pho is comfort food for chef Luke Nguyen, who demonstrates how to make pho in Hanoi. You might also like Phil Lees's speedy chicken pho recipe.

Preparation

Once the stock is made, Angie blanches rice noodles in boiling water and places them into deep serving bowls. Arrange very thin slices of beef on top and a mixture of chopped coriander and green shallot, white onion and finely sliced jigsaw coriander leaves. She then ladles over the hot stock.

To eat Pho, Angie recommends that you taste the broth then add lemon juice, basil, bean sprouts and chilli to taste.
