Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of fish sauce to the broth during the last 10 minutes of simmering. Store leftover broth in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To make it healthier, consider using low-sodium broth or increasing the amount of fresh herbs. Remember that pho is traditionally a breakfast dish in Vietnam, so feel free to enjoy it at any time of day!
