Linh's phở

Method

1. 01

   Blanch the bones five minutes, drain, and rinse. This is the step that keeps the broth clear.

2. 02

   Simmer the bones and brisket with the charred aromatics and toasted spices for at least six hours, skimming often. Pull the brisket at three hours, cool, and slice thin.

3. 03

   Season the broth with fish sauce, sugar, and salt until it tastes like it should.

4. 04

   Assemble: noodles, raw beef, brisket, ladle boiling broth over. Herbs and lime at the table.
