Happy Saturday friends!
How's your Saturday so far? I spent about 2 H of my morning keeping up with Kardashi....I mean #thealliance members, as we had pow wow this morning. Good chat guys, thank you 👍 I had to excuse myself as it was time for tidying up the house a.k.a playing Minecraft with my 4 yo 😂 See, I know my priorities 😂 So yeah, my Saturday is going good so far.
I am thinking of lazy weekends for us as all things are done anyways. I made burrito for lunch earlier but we also have broth leftover from our dinner last night, of pho, which I will be sharing the recipe with this blog. Plants are watered, house is mopped, Jumanji is waiting, so yeah, lazy weekends it is, yay 💃
Now for pho recipe.
I was checking up stocks in the pantry and saw that I still had a bag of spinach rice vermicelli. Didn't feel like making friend vermicelli, so I said to the fam., "let's have Vietnamese noodle soup, but instead flat rice noodle, we'd use the spinach rice vermicelli instead".
Here I am sharing you how to prepare vegan pho broth from scratch, which I kid you not, tastes as good as original pho broth using bones.
Broth
- 1 box of veggie/pho broth (4 c)
- 3 tbsp of soy sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 8 c of water
- 6 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 6 garlic, crushed
- 1 thumb of ginger, skinned, thinly slice
- 1/2 of a large onion, thinly sliced
- 5 stems of basil (just the stems)
- 12 stems cilantro (stems and leaves)
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 3 star anise
- freshly cracked black pepper
How To
- Bring everything a full boil for 5 minutes, cover, then simmer for an H
- Strain broth, discard species and whatnot (reserve mushrooms though!), pour broth back into the pot, drop in 1 veggie cube or season with Vegeta powder, and keep it warm.
Noodle Soup
- Wash clean basil leaves, bean sprouts, and cilantro. Place on a plate
- Slice cooked shiitake mushrooms
- Slice enough green onion
- Bring enough water to a boil, drop in bokchoy, enoki mushrooms, and spinach rice vermicelli, for 3-5 mins, drain
- Place enough noodle, bokchoy, enoki and shitake mushoorms on a bowl, pour broth
- Serve with fresh veggies, Sriracha, Hoisin sauce and lime juice
Bon appetit 👍👍👍👍
Thanks For Looking!
