  • Whether it's hot or cold outside, a steamy bowl of pho is always a good idea. Jimmy Ly, from Madame Vo in the East Village, is the Vietnamese noodle master with a pho broth that is simmered for 24 hours in his restaurant. In this video, he will show you how to make his family's pho in your own home.
    From cleaning the bones for stock, to knowing what kind of meat and herbs to use for classic pho, plus a trick on how to get your rice noodles not to stick, he's got all the info you need to know to make homemade pho. You'll also see Jimmy's signature move in making his Vietnamese noodle soup-a huge chunk of braised short rib for garnish.

    Vietnamese here, been eating pho all my life to the point I am considering myself a pho gourmet. I am a Southerner but I do travel a lot all over Vietnam because of my work. Props to Jimmy because he get every step right, it a shame he cannot use the fresh pho noodle.
    There seems to be a lot of argument of the fish sauce use in pho cooking in the comment section.
    As in cooking, it may be use in a small insignificant amount to add a bit of the saltiness and umami kick. But it really easy to ruin the pho so people usually use bouillon powder or msg to do that instead. I personally think Jimmy put the fish sauce a bit too late but hey everybody have their own recipe.
    As a condiment, Northerner enjoy it with pickled garlic and chilly or vinegar chilly sauce, Southerner do use a wider range of condiment but fish sauce is usually a no. Some place they may put fish sauce there on the table, not because it's authentic but you do have oddballs that enjoy it in their pho (never personally know one in my entire life) like the ones that eat com tam with soy sauce or bun dau without mam tom. Or people just straight up wang the fish sauce on their pho because it is too bad and too bland so they want some extra flavor to just finish the damn thing and table salt usually not available - This usually happened in the poor areas where people cook bootleg pho to serve the low wagers.
    Another case people making a diluted fish sauce as a dipping sauce for pho roll (pho cuon) / or the restaurant may serve bun bo hue too and we do use fish sauce in that dish.

I paid for basically brand name, and thats it. There was a bit of a wait(approx 30 min) and the food was decent. I think I will continue going to Thai Son instead, least its cheaper and I can enjoy the atmosphere more. Their vegetarian pho though was pretty good.

      Yup, you lose some flavour, but the impurities from the first boil are mainly from the blood in the bones which can make the soup cloudy and isnt very "clean" tasting. (pho is all about that clear broth). In the thai version, boat noodles, you keep everything and even add blood at the end.

You could go through with clarifying it like a French consomme, but that's even more work. The loss of flavor from the initial blanching of the bones is so minimal that you won't even notice it in the final product.
