Good for reference. Honestly, I've never thought of throwing so much meat into the pot. Just moved into the house. Going to try it this weekend.

Man, I have never been to OB Noodle House. I am going to have to go check it out. That is a LOT of meat to use every day!


I was always told you had to boil the bones first and then dump that water before cooking the real broth. This is supposed to keep the broth clear. I can't believe they just throw all that in there and the broth comes out clear.
Let us know how it turns out Marv. Are you starting with 15 gallons of water? :-DD

I worked in a Vietnamese restaurant in Amsterdam. Their Pho, pronounce "pheu" apparently was prepared on a daily basis with big pieces of meat in a huge pot on a big stove. The owners and managers loved a good Pho.

A good Pho is an event in itself. Easy to flavour, easy to share, easy to combine with other dishes and a great soup on its own.

Thinking about Pho makes me miss Vietnamese cuisine though. Next week, Pho!

LOL, I only have a 8-9 gallon. I've made pho plenty of times before, but not with that much meat. It's the use of that massive amount of meat which intrigues me. As far as the bones, many methods, and I found from asking and observing various Vietnamese that there tends to be familial reciples.

One method involves baking or broiling the bones. Another method simply relies on multiple uses of a fine strainer. Yet other prefer a slightly "dirtier" broth. Every method has own unique take on it.

The pho at my old employer was prepared continuously. Meat and bone were warmed up in the huge pot day and night.

The flavour was enough to silence me completely. The meat that came with the pho variants was exquisite.

A good bouillon as certain soups are called, needs time.

I couldnot watch anax video, it seems to be deleted or the usual unavailable outside US.Pho is considered as standard breakfast in Vietnam. There are actually several types of pho, you have the standard "pho tai" which is pho with raw meat (nothing like munch photo through, that looks like he used a steak to me) and "pho chin" which is pho with well cooked meat (not just meat that was boiled longer but pre-cook meat) and then you have "pho tai lan" which is pho with stir fried meat (this one is more oily but it is my personal fav) and "pho tai nam" with raw meat and well cooked beef flank as well as "pho tai gau" again raw with fat brisket.
Those are the standard types of pho in the North.
 
I would recommend anyone to add this to your pho. It is deep fried bread stick or "Quay" in Vietnamese.Again Northern style but they are great additions.

OOOooooOOO Chinese fried crueller. The best I've ever had was in Guangzhou with some fish porridge. YUM

It looks super easy to make but it requires the right mixer of flour and baking soda.
