I’ve got to disagree. When I make it, it tastes so much richer than the more quickly made stuff you can get at any restaurant. The two don’t even compare.
Edit: Even more so, bo kho. The homemade stuff takes me about 14 hours for a big batch with lots of leftovers. I can’t even bother eating the stuff made at restaurants where they cut corners and don’t simmer all day.
I used to think this until I spent a month tinkering with different recipes and ideas to make a good “cheater pho”. Pho that doesn’t take 1 day to make yet gets about 90% of the tastes of a great pho. I think i succeeded but it’s probably basphamy to some people.
I found the food networks recipe to be a great starting place if you want to give it a shot.
Phở Bo (Vietnamese beef soup). It’s such an amazingly good soup, but the making of it is a multi-step process that takes hours.
