Before you jump to Vietnamese-style Pho Noodle Soup recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Finding Healthy Fast Food.
Just about any article you read about bettering your health or losing weight is going to tell you to ignore the drive through and cook all of your meals instead. This is certainly good guidance. Once in a while, though, you absolutely do not want to make a whole meal for your family or even just for yourself. Sometimes you just wish to reach the drive through en route to your home and call it a day. There isn’t any reason that you shouldn’t be allowed to do this and not be plagued by shame about slipping on your diet. This is because many of the famous fast food restaurants on the market are trying to “healthy up” their choices. Here’s how it is possible to eat healthfully when you are at a fast food spot.
Pick out a drive through with a restaurant that’s known for catering to people with healthier palates. Arby’s for example, doesn’t offer burgers. As an alternative it is possible to pick from roast beef sandwiches, salads, wraps as well as other healthier items. While Wendy’s has made hamburgers for decades, additionally they have plenty of other healthy options like salads, baked potatoes and chili. Not everything is McDonalds with its deep fried chicken parts as well as other terribly unfit items.
Basic logic states that the best way to lose fat and get healthy is to ban fast food from your diet altogether. While this is usually a good idea all you need to do is make a few good selections and going to the drive through isn’t anything to worry about–when you do it in moderation. Every now and then, letting someone else cook dinner is just what you need. When you choose healthful menu items, you do not have to feel bad about visiting the drive through.
We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to vietnamese-style pho noodle soup recipe. To cook vietnamese-style pho noodle soup you only need 15 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Vietnamese-style Pho Noodle Soup:
You need Soup
Prepare 8 cups (1.9 liters) vegetable, chicken, or beef stock (Japanese stock works well too)
Get 4 star anise
You need 4 whole cloves
Get 1 cinnamon stick (about 3 in)
Get 1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger
Take 1 onion, cut in quarters
You need 2-4 Tbsp Fish sauce or soy sauce to taste
Get Noodles and Garnishes
Take 4 serving pho noodles or rice vermicelli
You need Black pepper (optional)
Take 1 handful fresh cilantro
You need 1 fresh lime cut in wedges
You need 1 dash your favorite hot chilis (optional)
Use 300 g boneless chicken cut in slices or for a vegetarian option, try fried tofu
Instructions to make Vietnamese-style Pho Noodle Soup:
In a large pot, add the stock, star anise, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and onion. Bring to a boil, turn to low, then simmer with the lid on for 45 to 1 hour.
Strain out the spices and onion, then add 2 Tbsp of fish sauce or soy sauce. Taste the soup and add more if needed (it depends on the kind of sauce you use). * You can do up to this step ahead of time and then just reheat the soup when you are ready to eat.
Add some of the soup to a smaller pot and bring to a simmer. Add the sliced meat and cook for 2-3 minutes. If using fried tofu, skip this step. (You can do this in the large pot too, but I found it easier to dish out the meat evenly if it was separate, or if you are not eating all 4 servings)
If using fried tofu, grill it a bit in a frying pan (no oil needed) and cut into thin slices. Put on top of the soup just before serving.
Prepare the noodles according to the directions and drain. Some packages tell you to chill the noodles in cold water, but it makes the soup cold so I recommend keeping the noodles hot! (Just make sure you do this just before adding the soup, or else they noodles will stick together).
Divide the noodles among deep soup bowls and dish out the soup with the meat over the noodles.
Garnish with fresh lime, chopped chilis, and black pepper. Put the fish sauce/soy sauce at the table in case you need more. Dig in!
