At the restaurant, maybe, sure... but my understanding it that this is homemade... with homemade you make due with what you have... and homemade broth is usually cloudier than restaurant broth.Pho wouldn't have broth like that though and the noodles are wrong. Just saying!
In my fridge I have a risotto I made. Turns out I love risotto! It's like a rice ghoulash with lots of butter and mushrooms or whatever else. I got it via the food delivery service I use, they send me recipes along with all the ingredients. I got a risotto 2 weeks ago and loved it and got another one for this week. I'm getting ready to devour the leftovers for dinner (but will throw in some swedish meatballs cause I'm extra hungry today)
I don't really see similarity between risotto and goulash, they're quite different dishes.
This reminds me I need to finally learn how to cook my mother's buřtguláš-essentially a spicy sausage stew.
I couldn't think of a better word to describe risotto into terms pre-2020 warpus would understand. Risotto just seems to be a "Okay guys, there's nothing in the fridge but we got some rice, butter, cheese, mushrooms, and a thing that looks like an onion. Imma put it in a pot and hope for the best" sort of dish. It would probably be better described as a sort of creamy Italian stirfry
If I goaded you into that then I'll say my job is done.You were saying Tak?
Yeah, goulash is pretty much defined by the use of paprika as main flavoring, it isn't usually used in risotto.
The thing is.. if your pho broth looks like that, it isn't really pho broth, you've made something else. The broth more or less defines this dish, so if you've made a different broth then you've made another dish.
Although I admit the colour here looks like it could be southern style pho. But it wouldn't be that cloudy. Ofc that's just the penang curry stuff
This is the broth I'm referencing, before the patron starts adding all the sides and sauces
I'm sorry but pho broth is meant to be clear.
who says this though? not my vietnamese friends, nor any vietnamese person I've met. clearly pho is a more or less clear broth, but I've never heard of clarity as a marker of quality, imho time is probably the best marker of quality.
Yup. It was an anchovy broth, whereas I believe pho is a beef bone broth and is clear, as you mentioned.I'm sorry but pho broth is meant to be clear. The clearer, the more superior it is considered to be.
All the pho I ate in Vietnam had see-through broth, although southern style pho is a bit murkier to be fair. Still fairly seethrough though, until you start adding sriracha and hoisin sauce of course.

My solution to this (and any other time the meat comes in bigger bits than I want to serve) is to cook it like it comes, and then breaking them up. This usually just involves vigorous stirring.I'm not sure it was worth the hassle of having to trim and cut every chicken thigh I use compared to taking out a couple chicken breasts and cubing them.
You seem to know a thing or two about pho. I am actually putting up a pho guide sort of website. Maybe I'll have to reach out to you when I'm closer to launching it and see if you'd be interested in writing any articles for it. There seem to be a lot of different opinions on this dish out there, although there isn't a ton of information on pho online either. (That's one reason why I want to put up this website)
