I love pho but I don’t love spending hours cooking the delicious Vietnamese soup so sometimes I cheat and make a not-from-scratch version. If you’re using pho cubes or paste it doesn’t take more than 20 minutes to make, and with the right garnish and condiments it’s delicious. I usually serve the soup with just the noodles broth and beef in the bowl. I offer the fresh herbs condiments lime and chili on the side to be added at the table, so everyone can season the soup to their taste. Ingredients 1 pho cube (enough for 2 cups of broth) 1 serving flat rice noodles thinly sliced beef (6 -8 slices per serving) 1 lime 1/2 onion (white onion or shallot) 1/2 Thai chili (leave it out if you can’t handle the heat) 1/2 cup bean sprouts fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, Thai basil) Hoisin sauce Sriracha sauce
