Instructions to make Veggie or Chicken Pho:
- In a large pan over medium heat with no oil added, char the mushrooms, white onions, ginger, garlic, and chicken bones if you chose the chicken option. Add the olive oil, then lay the bok choy flat side down to get a caramelized, brown edge. About 5-7 minutes.
- Add the water, scraping the bits off the bottom. Then add back in the mushrooms, onion, and ginger. Then add the star anise, coriander seed, fennel, cardamom, cinnamon sticks and cloves. Bring the pot to a low simmer for 2-3 hours. Lower the heat, stir in the soy sauce and cover for 45 minutes to an hour.
- Strain the broth and add the roasted chicken pieces or tofu triangles to heat them through.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the cooked rice noodles, carrots, and green onions., then portion them into 8 large soup bowls, topping each with a charred bok choy half.
- Ladle the stock and chicken/tofu over each bowl until it comes up about 3/4 to the edge.
- In 8 separate small dishes, arrange the cilantro, basil, bean sprouts, and lime wedges for your guests to add if they choose. Leave the hoisin and sriracha either divided in 8 more small dishes or just out in their bottles for your guests to enjoy, depending how fancy you want to get with it.
