For the people here who actually intend to cook this recipe rather than just comment about how good it is, here were my outcomes: --The overall taste came out watery and not anything like restaurant pho. I believe this is due to the fact that proportions and the time you leave aromatics in are IMPORTANT. Something that is not mentioned in this or any other YT pho recipe video. I left mine simmering for 7 hours. I would definitely suggest 24 like this video says. Definitely char the aromatics less than this video says. You BARELY want a brown on the aromatics before simmering otherwise they disintegrate too quickly over 7+ hours. Also, this video suggests 7lb beef bones. If you're cooking this recipe specifically, I would actually do at least 10. This means you have to skim more, but without it this recipe is just straight bland. --All in all, I wouldn't recommend this recipe unless you know how to tweak it to make it taste legit. Otherwise, its a very bland recipe.

Seeing all the triggered Vietnamese people in the comments section is so funny, I-m Vietnamese too, and everyone has their own recipe. In the culinary world, no one cares if its authentic or not, you innovate and IMPROVE the recipe. No one cares if its authentic or not as long as it tastes good. All these triggered Vietnamese people gotta chill. There isn-t a thousand year old book with the original recipe, literally no one knows what the actual original/authentic recipe is so cut the bs smh-

As a ahem person who is expert at pho, the ---- he just made is nothing. Traditional pho is way different and you don't throw in a piece of rib into pho. He's missing other things like the vinegar, chilli, garlic sauce and banh quay. His band pho (the noodles basically) is smaller than the authentic one. Basically its just wrong. He isn't even raised up in Vietnam so he doesn't even know what pho is like. For westerners, this is not what pho looks like. His is way different.

i'm making pho and watching this video as a refresher course since I hardly ever cook and just realized, I spent like 45 minutes charring my ginger and onion in the oven with the broiler instead of just doing it on the gas stove. brilliant idea. i'm remembering that my mother used to do that when I was a kid but I haven't lived in a home with a gas stove for so long but always wanted one. turns out its for this. #growingupviet #gottamakethatA1pho

I made this Pho. very reluctantly invited my vietnamese friend to try. he smacked me. said it is better than his mum's. fantastic recipe. What I didn't tell him is that I cooked it in a pressure cooker and only took 2 hours. if you skim the broth well at the beginning then it does not become too cloudy. I also tried simmering for 10h. Actually the pressure cooker version is better. Everything tastes more intense and clearer.

I think his pho looks decent, but it's maybe not worth 22- if that's how he cooks his pho in his restaurant. I had a decent pho in california for only 6-7 bucks and I am sure they probably taste very similar. Vietnamese food shouldn't be pricey, that's why even fastfood chain in VN are not doing well because it's pricier than their own local food.

what. are you doing at 02: 39? dude. any old lady from Vietnam would scream at you for destroying the perfect broth base for Pho. My family is making Pho and broth is esentially the bone marrow water right there. The flavor would become dull without it. But great job on making it to Munchies though. Cheer. --the more you know-

That's a solid bowl of Pho. I spent 6 months in Vietnam. I think the biggest difference between Vietnamese Pho and Pho made in America is the fresh herbal taste in Vietnamese Pho. Herbs are insanely fresh over there and a much bigger component of their food.
