I found you through Jason Farmer, who sings your praises. Every winter I try to “master” a new recipe which i can freeze (or partially freeze) to dazzle and amaze my coterie of lazy and entitled friends who couldn’t make a cup of instant coffee if Julia Child were standing at their elbow helping them through the hard parts. This is going to be the winter of Pho.
Lighton, i am Searching for pho recepies and I found your video, this is no room to debate that your video is the best. Thank you very much, as a pho lover I am very thankful to see your video today.
Hey brother, I can say that this method works. I was a software engineer turned restaurant pho chef. Before I found your channel, I was and still am cooking pho this way. I love your kitchen set up! One small difference is I grill my bones. So my pho has a slightly darker color. In my version 15 or iteration 15th, I started adding bone marrow butter that I make to every bowl. This gives a more consistent “fatty mess” to my bowls. I also started in version 16 different cuts of bones, ribs and oxtails. If you’re ever in America, stop by and we can pick other brains. Love what you’re doing brother.
Leighton first and foremost ty for the constant trial and error in figuring out this recipe for home cooks like myself. This comprehensive guide is exactly what I needed to tackle this at home. This recipe blows all pho restaurants in las vegas out the water. Although I need to still practice the ratio with the concentrate. This recipe will have me in the kitchen excited to make this rather than going out. Thank you again Leighton!
Thanks for dropping a comment. 100% constant trial and error. If you have the patience to get through this video there’s a wealth of knowledge that you’ll pickup to make the journey to mastering this dish that much easier. Nothing will ever beat an honest home cooked Pho. Coincidently I had a Pho restaurant owner from Las Vegas visit me last week. I was give a crash course on the landscape there including a certain store that’s open 24/7.
that i got this video recommended only after one year of looking is a crying injustice. your humor is hilarious, the descriptions on point and the recipe i will try this week! thank you so much!
How long have I been looking for you! There were about 5 attempts to cook it at home, and I had already given up because I was never satisfied with the result. I'm sure I found what I was looking for. Thank you so much for the recipe!
Hey Leighton, I wanted to start by saying thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy days to make such an amazing video! I live in Quebec City Canada and travel west for work often where I’ve eaten pho for 15 years! Some amazing and some not so good!! I’m originally from Ontario where you can find some amazing Pho, but after moving to Quebec City there is just very poor Pho! I get depressed when I crave a good bowl of Pho!!! I stumbled upon your videos and ordered some seasoning from you and finally did your recipe!!! OMG Soo amazing! My kids found it had too much cinnamon flavour so I’m creating V2 now!! I’ve also made up a batch of 24hr pork bone broth to add at the end! I really enjoyed the complexity of V1 but I figured I’d leave the same amount of spices but add an extra 500ml of beef bone broth and 500ml of pork bone broth to make this recipe a total of 3.5L… What do you think? I personally think I have poor quality cinnamon sticks and is the reason it protrudes a very artificial (per day) taste… Anyway, thank you for making my time at home pleasant with à proper bowl of Pho!!!
Hi Leighton, This video contains what for me is the greatest trial my cooking skills will ever face. I have been cooking for 60 years. I have eaten Pho at many restaurants. But there was one in Austin that had Pho that was divine, and unmatched. And I think I now know why...it was their broth. I am gearing up to try to make this and it will call on all my skills, including knowing how and where to buy ingredients. Thank you so very much for this.
This video was so much fun to watch and I can’t wait to try it, here in California you can go to 10 pho restaurants and only like 3 and more than likely the best tasting ones have the worst sanitary conditions!!!!
The most common complaint on this channel is Pho restaurants not really doing their job. But still they do ok because 1) people don't know better 2) they have no other choice because their favourite one is too far or inconvenient to get to. Which is why I'm a firm believer in the best Pho are the one's cooked at home with honesty and love.
I'm glad to be seeing Red Boat and Squid brand fish sauce, they are the two greatest fish sauces ever. Especially Red Boat, I can't get enough of that stuff, it's the only one I even use for dips or anything uncooked. Squid is what I tend to cook with. The way I season my Pho, is I add 90% of my spices at the exact same time you do, but I add the last 10% really close to serving, that fresh hit of spices adds more aromatic compounds that haven't boiled off during cooking. Most of the flavor molecules evaporate very readily.
Lots of tapping but I appreciate the Australian eye for detail and analysis. I’ve had this pho many times in my former life abroad in Brisbane and can attest to its greatness.
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this! I discovered PHO ❤️ a few years ago working in Washington DC. Now I live in the country in Central PA and there are no Vietnamese restaurants here . So this forced me to learn to make pho . I've always struggled, so this really, really hits home for me ! Thank you again!!! Fabulous job 👏
Thank you for sharing your struggle. I feel you. I forget there are those who don't have a quality Pho restaurant to go to when they are craving it. You'll be opening your own restaurant soon once you've got your head around this recipe ❤🙌
Dude i'm stoked as hell! I've been doing a very similar version of this at home for years. Through experience i've picked up all these different techniques and methods from various cuisines and applied it to my cooking to improved my pho over the years
Your videos have made my Pho 1000 times better. I call it Pho theory. I was able to get my hands on some hat nam from Vietnam. I will be using it next time I make Pho. Thanks for the great videos
Thank you Jerry. If it made anyone's Pho better than their last attempt my job is done. Glad to hear you are getting excellent results and a better understanding of this dish. You will see a big difference once you add the Hat Nem! ❤
I’m so grateful for such a detailed video and great blend process! I’ve tried to make pho 4-5 times and every time it’s never quite right. Looks like I’ve been missing Hat Nêm!!! Now to give it a try!!
Over the years I've made pho by watching older videos and online recipes but it never tasted quite the same as top restaurant level pho, its always abit blend or even after heavy seasoning the balance was off. This answers sooooo many questions, I can't wait to try this recipe.
Followed the process but not the recipe, it was still 🔥. 1-1 ratio with brisket. Been wanting to take on the challenge to change my pho game. Can’t imagine following the whole recipe! Once I get my hands on your seasoning package, I’ll definitely give it a go. Thank you Leighton!
i just want to travel abroad to eat at your restaurant! i dont like pho but your process and video make it sound so good! love your sense of humor! You are Pho-king awesome mate! 👑❤
This truly is a gift. I’m an enthusiastic pho consumer who has tried to make it at home many times. The results have been acceptable, but never quite “good enough” for my liking. Thank you for making and sharing this video.
You have produced a fantastic video - I will be using this to serve to friends for dinner when I have a house warming - Thank you so much for the recipe - it was from the heart
Yes, you ARE the phở KING, no doubt about it❣️❣️❣️ And I am so blessed to have come across your video & not have to wait for a year, like most fans 🤩. Can’t wait to try your 2 step process, then blend … Awesome technique 👏👏👏
Your blend method recapitulates other sauce and stew making techniques from professional kitchens. Escoffier, for example, when he gives the pot-au-feu (feu, pho, wink wink) recipe starts by turning water into a bone broth, then using said broth to cook the meats. If you continue the process, you reduce the second broth into a fond, which can be used as the base of a mother sauce, which is the base of your serving sauce, etc. It’s like encapsulation in C++.
Love the video. Been waiting for this video for awhile now lol. Quality and content is by far the best on RUclips Pho. Also the rich details and knowledge you give us is top notch. Keep up the good work bro. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
I'm a new viewer, and I know this video is a year old, but I'd like to opine about the channel for a moment. First off, incredibly professional presentation, nice camera, nice shots, great music, funny bits and references. The other thing is I noticed you changed your hair, and I would say to do what you want. Be you. If you are an eccentric chef, then be an eccentric chef. Don't worry about people's opinions, you will get positive attention regardless of people who's personality is sugar, salt, fish sauce. Lastly, I feel like I've found someone who pays enough attention to detail to actually teach a cultural product from the ground up, so I'm excited to be here. Finally. After what seems like years of searching.
Appreciate the comment and well said. Now that this video is blowing up here's some context: - I shot this video a long time ago. - For free. At the time I didn't get paid by YT. - My first ever tutorial I ever shot (by my own admission explaining isn't my strong point. I'm better at telling stories) - I did it completely off the top of my head - Was expecting a few hundred views. A lot of people are moaning it's too long too complicated I quit after 5 mins which I find quite funny. No where in the title or description does it say a quick and easy recipe. It's long. It's detailed which is a God send for many. I drop so many secrets and home truths throughout video but it's too hard so I quit. How many chefs out there are willing to give up their trade secrets? (Probably none because chefs are selfish people. Why should I share my secrets with you?) For those who genuinely were here to learn I've helped countless people cook their best Pho ever using this method and for me that's all I care about. 2023 version is next on my to do list. Expect a more refined version of this video and thank you to all my supporters.
@@Pho My 24 hour bone broth is in the oven right now, where I can control to temperature and feel safe sleeping while it runs. I'm already getting on board with the idea of doing seasoning in other sessions even for other stocks. I make stock a lot. If we make turkey, I make a jiggly stock. Not quite as solid as what you showed, but maybe I'll get there. I make pork neck bone stock for ramen and other soups and sauces. I try not to throw things away without getting everything the animal has to offer. So maybe I'm weird, but I don't mind long videos because you're getting into a lot of interesting detail on things I do regularly at home. It may be a little long, and there is a lot of detail included in some videos that is about the industry, like how how to throw out hundreds of pounds of bones that's not helpful at home. But it's interesting, and I feel like you respected your workers by including details like the pre bone day shake. I've never spent more than $15 US for Pho. Makes me wonder what I'm missing, so I guess I'll find out by the end of this master class you posted.
Hey Leighton, I am considering ordering your Hat Nem seasoning - and I am wondering does it cloud up the broth or leave it as clear as before? I am wondering because I have tried other "mushroom seasoning" packets available here in the US - and it adds a wonderful flavor but it does make the broth more cloudy - not sure maybe its the yeast extract. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your recipe. A friend and I cooked up a big batch and fed 27 guests for a birthday party in San Diego. The flavor was fantastic, even without Hat Nem.
Bruh, i hate long videos, but yours was so informative it had me in a trance and was perfect. Details details details is what everyone is after and you delivered in spades. Thank you for your contribution, ill make this next weekend for damn sure cuz my girl has a seafood allergy.
I gotta handed to you Leighton, your recipe is legit for real. I have try many different recipes and they don't even taste like the ones at the restaurants. It kinda leave me hanging because I know those internet/book recipes are hiding a secret ingredient that gives the unique taste of pho. After watching many of your videos and doing research. I decided to order the HAT NEM and try it out. I would say the HAT NEM was something that was definitely missing from my pho seasoning, because without the HAT NEM, you don't get the unique pho taste out of the broth. Keep up the Good Work. I hope to come visit Brisbane soon to try out your pho and have a chat. Hello from America.
Hi Jerry thank you for sharing. It's made my day reading this. Thanks for taking a leap of faith. As promised it delivered the taste you've been looking for all these years which you now can share with your friends and family. XX
I just found your channel because I wanted to make Pho this weekend instead of paying for carryout. You are hilarious! You complete me... LOL. Thanks for the recipe! DTP
Hi Leighton! I just found your channel, am watching the video, and I still feel like I'm waiting for the recipe. I can't image how your subscribers must feel. Also, for a home cooking recipe, you sure did everything in an industrial kitchen.
Thanks Eli There are a few follow up videos in the description with the recipe. As I said many times it's a rather complicated video (the way I am haha) It's not your usual "cooking video" and I hope you learn something from it.
Reading about making bone broth, I came across an author that said the bones could be used twice. Have you tried that for the sake of economy? The bones can be quite costly especially when using grass fed or pasture raised beef. Can using grass fed beef bump up the results of the end product?
Cám ơn. Tôi đang nấu phở ở nhà. Quá giở nên lên RUclips để kiếm ái cú tôi. This will empower me to fix my pho game. My 19 month old boy eats phở weekly and never seem to tire of it.
Interesting stuff. Definitely never used seasoning powder for pho. I've always used the all-in-one method (which is obviously not really all-in-one either). Parboil the bones and meats quickly (5-10 mins), in go the meat, bones, charred onion/ginger, spices, rock sugar, some fish sauce - cook for 2 hours, pull the meats, cook for 3-4 more, then add salt, more fish sauce, MSG, dried peanut worm/squid to adjust to taste for 15 more minutes, then serve. (This will obviously scale up to full service batches with adjusted cook times.) I know some chefs and they all use a similar style to this, but at least one guy I know does add quoc viet pho soup base to his soup, it would be somewhat similar to the Knorr season powder.
Hey mate, just wondering, have you tried ageing your Pho broth for more than 27 hours? Like 36 or even 48 hours or even longer and did you notice any difference in taste colour and texture?
I don't have time to watch this now but imma come back to it later. This guy has the crazy eyes that tells me he's a true believer in whatever he's doing. These are the videos that I like to watch. More voodoo priest than chef. More kitchen warrior god than cook.
i see a lot of recipes use coriander in pho broths. was there a specific reason why you didnt? green vs black cardamom? do you know which specific species of cinnamon you use?
I totally agree with the broth needing some color but my mom thinks differently🤦♀️ she like it clear so it’s “clean” but I’m like the color is flavor! We both make it good but I think mines was the winner. I intergraded your methods so points to you 😁
Thanks for sharing Nhi 😃 Very controversial topic this. I promise I will do a proper video on this whole "clear" debate because it drives me mad. My take is there's a misunderstand on what clear really means. The older generations (eg mum/aunties/grandparents) believe clear means it needs to look like water. The issue is no restaurant I've ever reviewed has had a clear broth by that definition - it's all here on this channel. Not even the one's in Vietnam were clear. On the odd occasion where the broth happen to be clear guess what? They were some of the worst Pho I ever tasted because it had no taste. My understanding of clear means the broth is clean, regardless of whether it has a "shade" of colour to it.
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate the detail and reasons for each step; I fed my sisters pho last night and the true test got A+ NO hoisin or siracha required!!!!
I'm actually cooking some right now. A few ways that I do here at the store. 1) Sear the brisket just to get a nice golden colour as I'm preparing to blend. Don't be too concerned about time. It's more temp. If you are putting it into a very hot oven just enough to get a nice golden colour then turn the oven down low and slow > add into your pot for 3 hours with the pre-seasoning etc. Will infuse the brisket with the deep flavour. 2) Right now I ran out of brisket but I'm not cooking a batch today so the brisket will be 100% oven roasted > which gives a different taste altogether (i.e not the boiled taste). I offer a Wagyu brisket with high marbling (which would be wasted if I was to cook it in the pot). This I would roast low and slow for 6 hrs + (120 degrees). Come in the morning throw it in the oven as I'm having my morning coffee and come back in the afternoon ready to serve. 3) I just purchased a $20 slow cooker from the supermarket. Have throw it in set and forget which gives you a pulled beef brisket. Many many ways to do brisket. No right or wrong.
I have beem trying to make pho at home for years. I have gone through at least 20 recipes and they were all missing that "illusive something". I tried MSG and even meggi seasoning but nothing worked. Sadly I cant seem to find a spurce for hat nem in Canada. Ill go and chat with a loval asian grocer. They might be able to hook me up.
Leighton, thank you for all your videos, I already made better pho than rest of my friends. There's one thing I like to ask you, it's from one of ur videos. During the blending 3 hour part, I noticed you added water after you seared off the brisket, and added spices, onions gingers and 1 to 1 concentrate. Can you please tell me the measurements for the water please?

I made my first pho ever after watching Leigthon tutorials. And after i tasted it i was shocked for a few moments of that taste. HUGE THANKS LEIGHTON!
Makes my day every time I read comments like this. Like climbing a mountain - takes time and effort but the view at the top is so worth it.
Love the deadpanned delivery, and your sense of humor. When I visit my friend in Brisbane, will be sure to look you up. Kitchen looks incredible!
Thank you much appreciate the kind words =)

Right! Sometimes that's a thing all itself.... 🤗
that i got this video recommended only after one year of looking is a crying injustice. your humor is hilarious, the descriptions on point and the recipe i will try this week! thank you so much!
RUclips is funny right?
I shot that a long time ago. Only now is it being picked up (finally).
A new version of this is video is due shortly.
How long have I been looking for you! There were about 5 attempts to cook it at home, and I had already given up because I was never satisfied with the result. I'm sure I found what I was looking for. Thank you so much for the recipe!
This is the best pho education I have search and found so far. I will try your technique. Good job!
Thank you Mitch
Felt like a life time ago since I shot this video. Explained the complicated way but it has helped many so my job is done =)
Leighton, you are so incredibly generous with your knowledge. Learnt so much and can't wait to try it.Thank you for your kindness!
Hey Leighton, I wanted to start by saying thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy days to make such an amazing video!

Was it Pho Fong Luu?
1618 or Pho Phong Luu?
This video was so much fun to watch and I can’t wait to try it, here in California you can go to 10 pho restaurants and only like 3 and more than likely the best tasting ones have the worst sanitary conditions!!!!
The most common complaint on this channel is Pho restaurants not really doing their job. But still they do ok because 1) people don't know better 2) they have no other choice because their favourite one is too far or inconvenient to get to.

Thank you for sharing your struggle. I feel you. I forget there are those who don't have a quality Pho restaurant to go to when they are craving it. You'll be opening your own restaurant soon once you've got your head around this recipe ❤🙌
Great video Leighton. Can see your passion for pho. Will travel to Brisbane to taste your wonderful pho one day.
Thank you! You’ve helped me understand what I was doing wrong every time I try to make pho. 🎉
So happy to hear that. Updated version of this video will be out soon!
Dude i'm stoked as hell! I've been doing a very similar version of this at home for years. Through experience i've picked up all these different techniques and methods from various cuisines and applied it to my cooking to improved my pho over the years
Dude, I'm ridiculously surprised at how much I'm looking your vids. Tyvm and I'm gonna continue watching for future stuff, brother

You're welcome! I have an updated version of this video dropping next week. Minor tweaks and a big tip at the end so stay tuned.
This is the most legit pho recipe I've ever seen.
I am amazed at your kitchen, very up to date! I am a pho virgin beginner and trying to make the broth and get the spices right👍
Over the years I've made pho by watching older videos and online recipes but it never tasted quite the same as top restaurant level pho, its always abit blend or even after heavy seasoning the balance was off. This answers sooooo many questions, I can't wait to try this recipe.

I have been looking for a channel about pho like yours. You are a hardcore nerd for this and I love it. Definitely want to try your recipe
I love your passion, simplicity, analogy and knowledge.
Much appreciated 😄
This truly is a gift. I’m an enthusiastic pho consumer who has tried to make it at home many times. The results have been acceptable, but never quite “good enough” for my liking. Thank you for making and sharing this video.

Pho happy, poor fellows!
This channel is a hidden gem.
Thank you 🖤
Thank you so much for proving us with such content. Things like this are very rare
What's the name of the song at the start
Thank you so much Leighton for your gift to us.
You are very welcome =)
This channel is like the pho equivalent of Way Of Ramen
Thank you 😊
I love how serious you are about your food and your pho I want to try yours I love pho
Also if you can find knorr hat nem? Located in USA

1st time viewer here, I enjoyed watching your detailed Pho video!
I sub'd!
Gonna find the follow up video now, thank you for sharing!!
Thank you Leighton for your dedication and sharing your recipe with us. I can't wait to try it!
Thank you very very much for putting such an effort to make this video.
I'm a new viewer, and I know this video is a year old, but I'd like to opine about the channel for a moment. First off, incredibly professional presentation, nice camera, nice shots, great music, funny bits and references. The other thing is I noticed you changed your hair, and I would say to do what you want. Be you. If you are an eccentric chef, then be an eccentric chef. Don't worry about people's opinions, you will get positive attention regardless of people who's personality is sugar, salt, fish sauce. Lastly, I feel like I've found someone who pays enough attention to detail to actually teach a cultural product from the ground up, so I'm excited to be here. Finally. After what seems like years of searching.
Appreciate the comment and well said.
Now that this video is blowing up here's some context:
- I shot this video a long time ago.
- For free. At the time I didn't get paid by YT.
- My first ever tutorial I ever shot (by my own admission explaining isn't my strong point. I'm better at telling stories)
- I did it completely off the top of my head
- Was expecting a few hundred views.
A lot of people are moaning it's too long too complicated I quit after 5 mins which I find quite funny. No where in the title or description does it say a quick and easy recipe.
It's long. It's detailed which is a God send for many. I drop so many secrets and home truths throughout video but it's too hard so I quit. How many chefs out there are willing to give up their trade secrets? (Probably none because chefs are selfish people. Why should I share my secrets with you?)
For those who genuinely were here to learn I've helped countless people cook their best Pho ever using this method and for me that's all I care about.
2023 version is next on my to do list. Expect a more refined version of this video and thank you to all my supporters.
@@Pho My 24 hour bone broth is in the oven right now, where I can control to temperature and feel safe sleeping while it runs. I'm already getting on board with the idea of doing seasoning in other sessions even for other stocks. I make stock a lot. If we make turkey, I make a jiggly stock. Not quite as solid as what you showed, but maybe I'll get there. I make pork neck bone stock for ramen and other soups and sauces. I try not to throw things away without getting everything the animal has to offer.
So maybe I'm weird, but I don't mind long videos because you're getting into a lot of interesting detail on things I do regularly at home. It may be a little long, and there is a lot of detail included in some videos that is about the industry, like how how to throw out hundreds of pounds of bones that's not helpful at home. But it's interesting, and I feel like you respected your workers by including details like the pre bone day shake.
I've never spent more than $15 US for Pho. Makes me wonder what I'm missing, so I guess I'll find out by the end of this master class you posted.
I have been trying to make Pho for over 10 years. All (and I mean ALL) of the YT Pho videos are horrid. I can't wait to try this!!!
P.S. I called a local Asian Market in Spokane WA, and they carry Hat Nem! I can't wait to try this recipe.
Excellent - you should give them a heads up incase they get an avalanche of request for it! I'll mention this in my next video.

Hey Leighton, thank you for the recipe and the for your time in making this video
Holy moly the suspense of waiting for this video. Praise you 🙌🏼
Hey Leighton, I am considering ordering your Hat Nem seasoning - and I am wondering does it cloud up the broth or leave it as clear as before? I am wondering because I have tried other "mushroom seasoning" packets available here in the US - and it adds a wonderful flavor but it does make the broth more cloudy - not sure maybe its the yeast extract. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
@Pho I'm curious as a homebrewer what that cauldron contraption is called. Is it a hydraulic lift that lets you dump it?
Thanks for sharing the deep knowledge. There was nothing out there like this last time I tried to make pho. Some day I'll try again with this recipe.
Thank you - my next video is the 2023 updated version of this video so stay tuned.
Thank you for sharing your recipe. A friend and I cooked up a big batch and fed 27 guests for a birthday party in San Diego. The flavor was fantastic, even without Hat Nem.
Wow a Pho birthday party! You must send through some photos sounded like an awesome party 😀
You are absolutely the king of PHO.
Thank you Monte =)
Bruh, i hate long videos, but yours was so informative it had me in a trance and was perfect. Details details details is what everyone is after and you delivered in spades. Thank you for your contribution, ill make this next weekend for damn sure cuz my girl has a seafood allergy.
I gotta handed to you Leighton, your recipe is legit for real. I have try many different recipes and they don't even taste like the ones at the restaurants. It kinda leave me hanging because I know those internet/book recipes are hiding a secret ingredient that gives the unique taste of pho. After watching many of your videos and doing research. I decided to order the HAT NEM and try it out. I would say the HAT NEM was something that was definitely missing from my pho seasoning, because without the HAT NEM, you don't get the unique pho taste out of the broth. Keep up the Good Work. I hope to come visit Brisbane soon to try out your pho and have a chat.
Hello from America.
Hi Jerry thank you for sharing. It's made my day reading this. Thanks for taking a leap of faith. As promised it delivered the taste you've been looking for all these years which you now can share with your friends and family. XX
How do you make the 1:1 beef broth? 120 kilos of bones to make 120L of broth. So how much water did you use to simmer the bones, 120kilos of water?
I just found your channel because I wanted to make Pho this weekend instead of paying for carryout. You are hilarious! You complete me... LOL. Thanks for the recipe! DTP
Hi Leighton!
I just found your channel, am watching the video, and I still feel like I'm waiting for the recipe. I can't image how your subscribers must feel. Also, for a home cooking recipe, you sure did everything in an industrial kitchen.
Thanks Eli
There are a few follow up videos in the description with the recipe.
As I said many times it's a rather complicated video (the way I am haha)
It's not your usual "cooking video" and I hope you learn something from it.
Reading about making bone broth, I came across an author that said the bones could be used twice. Have you tried that for the sake of economy? The bones can be quite costly especially when using grass fed or pasture raised beef. Can using grass fed beef bump up the results of the end product?
Cám ơn. Tôi đang nấu phở ở nhà. Quá giở nên lên RUclips để kiếm ái cú tôi. This will empower me to fix my pho game. My 19 month old boy eats phở weekly and never seem to tire of it.
Thank you for dropping a comment. I have an updated video of this recipe coming out next week. Shot differently with some changes to the "công thức"
Mate, I was hooked and wanting some PHO!. This will live long in my memory. Bloody well done!
Thank you Dan - if you told me to reshoot this I don't think I can.
I have no idea what I was thinking at the time but it just happened.
Hi, please tell me where did you buy you're commercial cooking pot from????
Hi! Min 23:45 what are the spices in the bowl? These are not mentioned in the receipt.
Looks delish but I can't help thinking of microplastics going into the broth every time hot liquid goes into those measuring cups and buckets.
Mate, if you were in Melbourne I'd ask to come work for you. The kitchen is great, videos are great and your recipes are 100%.
Interesting stuff.
Definitely never used seasoning powder for pho. I've always used the all-in-one method (which is obviously not really all-in-one either).
Parboil the bones and meats quickly (5-10 mins), in go the meat, bones, charred onion/ginger, spices, rock sugar, some fish sauce - cook for 2 hours, pull the meats, cook for 3-4 more, then add salt, more fish sauce, MSG, dried peanut worm/squid to adjust to taste for 15 more minutes, then serve. (This will obviously scale up to full service batches with adjusted cook times.)
I know some chefs and they all use a similar style to this, but at least one guy I know does add quoc viet pho soup base to his soup, it would be somewhat similar to the Knorr season powder.
what is your original bone broth recipe before you freeze and return to pho ?
Subscribed yesterday, I came along at the right time apparently! This video is so great!! Thanks from Toronto 🙏🏻
A lot of people from Canada watching haha
Name of the song in the beginning please?
Hey mate, just wondering, have you tried ageing your Pho broth for more than 27 hours? Like 36 or even 48 hours or even longer and did you notice any difference in taste colour and texture?
Thank you for the comprehensive video. Will update once I complete this recipe.
Thank you. How would you prepare the book tripe and tendons?
I’m a geotech engineer and I have to say the FSL comment was absolute gold 👌😂
I don't have time to watch this now but imma come back to it later. This guy has the crazy eyes that tells me he's a true believer in whatever he's doing. These are the videos that I like to watch. More voodoo priest than chef. More kitchen warrior god than cook.
Haha Voodoo priest best comment in a long time 😆
i see a lot of recipes use coriander in pho broths. was there a specific reason why you didnt? green vs black cardamom? do you know which specific species of cinnamon you use?
I should be blessed then. Can't wait to make this
Thanks for your comment Kay Cee ❤
For the 24hr broth, we us home cooker how do you recommend us cooking the bones if we outside or sleeping so we don’t burn the house down
Fantastic video! I'm excited to try this recipe. It'll be my first time cooking pho.
Love hearing about people trying this dish for the first time. Good luck on this journey. ❤🙌
Are the music in this video license cleared?
Watching this while Rockville daytona just got canceled due to rain... So decided to make pho
I totally agree with the broth needing some color but my mom thinks differently🤦♀️ she like it clear so it’s “clean” but I’m like the color is flavor! We both make it good but I think mines was the winner. I intergraded your methods so points to you 😁
Thanks for sharing Nhi 😃
Very controversial topic this. I promise I will do a proper video on this whole "clear" debate because it drives me mad.
My take is there's a misunderstand on what clear really means. The older generations (eg mum/aunties/grandparents) believe clear means it needs to look like water.
The issue is no restaurant I've ever reviewed has had a clear broth by that definition - it's all here on this channel. Not even the one's in Vietnam were clear.
On the odd occasion where the broth happen to be clear guess what? They were some of the worst Pho I ever tasted because it had no taste.
My understanding of clear means the broth is clean, regardless of whether it has a "shade" of colour to it.
thanks for sharing your recipe! we are all excited to try this at home.
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate the detail and reasons for each step; I fed my sisters pho last night and the true test got A+ NO hoisin or siracha required!!!!
Appreciate all your hard work on your video! I’ve been watching your vids for awhile. 👍
Thank You Leighton,much appreciated your effort,keep up the good work!
Came from the RUclips recommendation. Stayed for the pho. Subbed for the memes.
Thank you 🥲
Hello Leighton, love the videos. I wanted to ask how long do you keep the brisket in the oven for?
I'm actually cooking some right now.
A few ways that I do here at the store.
1) Sear the brisket just to get a nice golden colour as I'm preparing to blend. Don't be too concerned about time. It's more temp. If you are putting it into a very hot oven just enough to get a nice golden colour then turn the oven down low and slow > add into your pot for 3 hours with the pre-seasoning etc. Will infuse the brisket with the deep flavour.
2) Right now I ran out of brisket but I'm not cooking a batch today so the brisket will be 100% oven roasted > which gives a different taste altogether (i.e not the boiled taste).
I offer a Wagyu brisket with high marbling (which would be wasted if I was to cook it in the pot). This I would roast low and slow for 6 hrs + (120 degrees). Come in the morning throw it in the oven as I'm having my morning coffee and come back in the afternoon ready to serve.
3) I just purchased a $20 slow cooker from the supermarket. Have throw it in set and forget which gives you a pulled beef brisket.
Many many ways to do brisket. No right or wrong.
Does restaurant quality home style pho exist?
AKA does pressure cooker ruin it or is it possible?
Can you also share how you prepare the beef broth concentrate? How much bones to water and cook how long? Do you add salt to the broth?
My next video is the 2023 update for this video - it will cover this topic so stay tuned.
@@Pho Thank you!
I cant find hat nem anywhere in the states... is there alternatives?
This is the real deal. Super informative chef. Thanks!
I have a follow up to this video dropping later this week - shorter sharper version with some minor tweaks.
I have beem trying to make pho at home for years. I have gone through at least 20 recipes and they were all missing that "illusive something".
I tried MSG and even meggi seasoning but nothing worked.
Sadly I cant seem to find a spurce for hat nem in Canada. Ill go and chat with a loval asian grocer. They might be able to hook me up.
Where can you get the hat Ben in the us?
Leighton, thank you for all your videos, I already made better pho than rest of my friends. There's one thing I like to ask you, it's from one of ur videos. During the blending 3 hour part, I noticed you added water after you seared off the brisket, and added spices, onions gingers and 1 to 1 concentrate.
Can you please tell me the measurements for the water please?
