Phó - {vietnamese Beef-Noodle Soup}
soups/stews
1/2 pound phó noodles - (these can be the rea
thing, or very thin rice sticks or
vermicelli or capelli d'angelo past
8 cups light beef stock - (if you can't ma
or get unsalted, dilute what you've
2 onions; sliced thin
2 pieces star anise
(or 1/4 tspn aniseed)
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons nuoc mam - (to 3 tbspns); or other
Southeast Asian fish sauce
3/4 pound boneless beef (top round is fine); partially frozen
=== ACCOMPANIMENTS ===
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 cups fresh beansprouts
6 lime slices
Finely-sliced jalapeño peppers.
Cook the noodles in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain (or follow
package directions for whatever noodles you're using).
Heat stock, onion, anise, lime juice, and nuoc mam in a large saucepan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer the broth for about 30
minutes.
Slice the beef in paper-thin slices.
Arrange green onions, cilantro, beansprouts, chiles, and lime slices on a
platter.
When ready to serve, strain the onion and star anise out of the broth.
With a slotted spoon or strainer, lower a handful of beef slices into the
simmering broth and let cook until they lose their red color. Remove --
then repeat with the rest of the beef.
Distribute the noodles evenly among the deep bowls, then top with meat
slices. Pour the broth over both, filling the bowl, and serve immediately,
with porcelain spoons and chopsticks.
Serve hot as a meal in great big bowls to 6, with accompaniments and a
bottle of chili-garlic sauce (Tuong ot Toi Viet-Nam, if you can get it) on
the side.
Comments: The ultimate comfort food -- and a snap to make once you get
hold of all the ingredients. It's delicate but filling; fragrant and
satisfying. With love and thanks to Angi Davison for addicting me to this
marvelous soup.
