With ViancoFoods Soup Concentrate “Pho” Beef Flavor 210gr, cooking a steaming, restaurant-quality bowl of Pho has never been quicker or easier. Follow our simple video guide and step-by-step instructions below to master this authentic dish at home!

Step 1: Prepare the Broth Base

Pour 2.0 liters of clean water into a cooking pot and bring it to a simmer.

Step 2: Simmer the Beef Shank

Place the 150g of beef shank (bắp bò) directly into the pot of 2.0 liters of simmering water. Let it simmer gently for 45 minutes until the meat becomes beautifully tender and thoroughly cooked.

Step 3: Slice the Cooked Meat

Once the 45 minutes are up, carefully take the beef shank out of the pot and let it cool down slightly. Cut the beef shank into thinner, bite-sized slices.

Step 4: Combine the Meat & Flavor

Add the beef meatballs, thin beef slices (bò tái), and beef tendons into the hot pot. Next, incorporate the ViancoFoods Soup Concentrate “Pho” Beef Flavor 210gr into the broth to instantly create that rich, fragrant, and authentic Pho aroma and flavor.

Step 5: Prepare the Pho Noodles

Depending on the type of noodles you have selected:

• For fresh rice noodles (Bánh phở tươi): Blanch the noodles quickly in hot water and drain well.

• For dried rice noodles (Bánh phở khô): Cook the dried noodles in boiling water for a few minutes until soft, then drain.

Step 6: Assemble and Serve

Place a portion of the blanched rice noodles into a serving bowl. Arrange the cooked beef shank slices, beef slices, tendons, and meatballs beautifully on top.

Pour the piping hot, aromatic ‘Pho’ soup stock directly into the bowl. Top it off with fresh mint and crisp bean sprouts.
