I loved this Pho recipe! It turned out wonderfully, it actually tasted like pho! I have made pho before (even using the predone cube sachets and beef broth to try to spice it up) and it has turned out miserable and tasteless. But this recipe tasted almost identical to my fave pho restraunt (I am proud of myself!). I ommitted the daikon since I didn't have it on hand and I didn't use the oxtail. I used some large meaty bones from the butcher at the local asian market and they were perfect for a half sized recipe. I followed everything else to a "T" and it was well worth the 6 1/2 hours it took the broth to cook and it smelled wonderful (after I added the spices). Even my picky roommate loved it! (and he hates my cooking most of the time! :P)

Hit the spot! This pho recipe is soooo good. I couldn't find beef knuckle or oxtail so I used meaty shin pieces but everything else was exactly the same as the recipe. It turned out wonderfully. I can't wait to make this again- it was a huge sucess in my house. Thank you!

What a great recipe! Very authentic. I am glad I came across this as I can contorl the amount of sodium to my own needs and still enjoy a grea Pho whenever I want. I followed it exactly as descirbed. Took a lot of cooking time but well worth it!

Pretty good but suggest "sweating" a large onion over an open fire and add to pot

This was soooo good. Made it for the broth. I'm making more today. Heat and add vegetables. Heat and add noodles. Heat and add . . . Much, much better then store bought.
