Pho Bo with Microgreens

This Pho Bo (Beef and Noodle soup) with Microgreens is my quick and delicious take on this Vietnamese classic. Pho, pronounced ‘fuh’ is a beef noodle soup which can be found on street corners all over Vietnam. This broth is the perfect dish to make on a cold day – flavorful, hearty and healthy. 

Start by bringing the stock to a boil with ingredients such as soy sauce, lemongrass, star anise, fish sauce and ginger. Soft-boil fresh eggs for the garnish. Add noodles, bean sprouts and spring onions to the stock. Just before serving, add the meat to the soup. Garnish with the egg, microgreens and traditional pho flavors of lime, mint and coriander.
