i've taken the boy to eat pho many a weekend now, and he's now hooked on it. He wants to make it at home, and we've got the basic ingredients down for the beef stock, but not sure if it should be made the traditional French beef stock way (roast bones, tomato paste [pretty darn sure there is none of that in there!], roast veg, put in pot, lots of water, bouquet garni, simmer for hours, yadda yadda), or if there is a "traditional" vietnamese way to make the broth. can anyone help out?
we figure some of the ingredients are: beef bones, star anise, cinnamon, peppercorns, but what else? and for how long to cook? i assume the bones ought to be roasted first? any help is appreciated!
