pho broth
Vietnamese noodle liquid
Pho broth is the aromatic soup base of the Vietnamese noodle dish pho—a clear, deeply flavored liquid simmered for hours with beef or chicken bones, charred onions, ginger, and warm spices like star anise, cinnamon, and cloves.
The broth defines the dish; its depth and clarity distinguish excellent pho from mediocre versions: The pho broth had that perfect balance of savory and fragrant.
