I found a crockpot recipe for Cameron and Nguyen's favorite Vietnamese dish so I am pretty excited! I have made Pho (pronounced phuh) before but never in the crockpot. It's cooking now and smells really good so hopefully it will be a winner!
Crockpot Vietnamese Pho
Ingredients:
--6 cups beef broth or stock
--2 inch chunk of peeled ginger
--3/4 t anise --1 cinnamon stick
--2 sliced green onions
--1 lb thin sliced beef
--package of rice noodles (usually in the ethnic aisle in the grocery store)
--1 t fish sauce (anchovies, salt, water. ethnic aisle again. it smells horrible.)
--1/2 t kosher salt
--1/2 t black pepper
Directions:
Put all of the broth into the crockpot. Add the meat, green onion, ginger, fish sauce, and spices. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 4-6. It's done when the meat is fully cooked. I used a 6qt Smart Pot for this recipe and it took a good 4 hours on high for the large amount of broth in my crock to get hot enough to cook the meat. 15 minutes before serving, add the entire package of rice noodles to the pot. Push them under the liquid with a wooden spoon, and cover.By the time you set the table, the noodles will be tender and glass-like. Serve in bowls. We didn't add any additional garnish, but you can add bean sprouts, fresh cilantro or basil, and lime wedges.
