Shrimp Pho with vegetables

Guys, this soup is soooo good! How, my new favorite soup good! It comes together quickly thanks to the use of store-bought broth. For a restaurant-quality photo, the broth simmer with flavors and sauces in a fraction of the time before adding the shrimp and vegetables. Unlike the noodles, this pho is a stew.

What is Shrimp Pho?

Shrimp Pho, pronounced “fuh”, is a traditional Vietnamese soup consisting of shrimp and vegetables in an aromatic broth, served over rice noodles and topped with a variety of side dishes. It's usually eaten with chopsticks and a large soup spoon, but use whatever you have.

The stock is absolutely delicious, you have to trust me here! Don't leave anything out. For my shortcut broth, I use the following ingredients to flavor the broth:

• Fish sauce
• soy sauce
• Cinnamon stick
• Star anise pod
• Sliced ​​ginger
• Prawn shells (If you're using prawns that have already been peeled, there is no need to add peel to the broth.)

How to cook dried rice noodles for pho

Rice noodles are very easy to find in the Asian section of a supermarket and cook very quickly. You just put them in hot water using one of two methods:

• Put the pasta in a heatproof bowl and pour water from the tea kettle.
  OR
• Simmer the water quickly in a pan and remove the pasta from the heat.

Pho toppings

Part of the fun of Pho is that the toppings are an adventure of your own choosing. They are the best way to repeat the experience you had in a restaurant. So you can use whatever you and your family like best. I like topping mine with jalapeno, mint, spring onion, and coriander. The lime juice and sriracha are also a must!

Below is a list of pho trimmings to choose from:

• vegetables: Mung bean sprouts, spring onions, thinly sliced ​​white onions
• pepper: Jalapenos, serrano peppers
• Herbs: Thai basil, mint, coriander
• sauce: Sriracha, hoisin, lime juice
