Low Carb Pho Miracle Noodles

What is Pho?

You might never find a more unique soup than Pho. It has a thin yet flavourful broth with strong notes of ginger and subtle touches of Thai or lemon basil. It’s served piping hot so that it can cook thinly sliced beef or evenly diced raw vegetables. It’s a wonderful combination of aromatic herbs, succulent noodles and a broth jam-packed with flavour.

Pho is a Vietnamese soup that started as street food before exploding globally. Years ago, it was an exotic treat that most people mispronounced (It’s actually pronounced, “fuh”). Traditional versions of this soup consist of broth, noodles, herbs, beef or chicken. The common herb used in restaurants is cilantro. Remember, not everyone loves cilantro, so if you’re cooking for someone else, serve it on the side.

Like any soup, the chef can take some liberties while maintaining the integrity of the dish. You can keep it vegan by excluding meat and using vegetable broth. You’ll still want to include ginger and star anise but feel free to get creative with what vegetables you use. Most recipes call for an onion, green onion and bean sprouts but you can add mushrooms, celery, carrots or zucchini if that’s your preference.

Unless you’re allergic, we strongly recommend keeping lime in the mix. One squeeze of lime over your hot soup adds a layer of flavour that elevates the dish and provides some acid to cut through the saltiness.

Follow These Easy Steps

Making a bowl of pho using Miracle Noodle requires zero skill and only a little bit of time. Use this recipe to kick it up a notch.

• Open the package and empty the contents. There should only be the noodles and sauce packet of pho broth.
• Rinse the noodles under water in a colander.
• Add noodles to a hot pan. You don’t need to use any oil, but a dash of sesame seed oil adds some additional flavor. Mix with a wooden spoon.
• Add a glass of water and empty the pho broth concentrate to the noodles.
• Cover the pan with a lid and let the heat and steam cook the noodles with the broth.
• If you want to add a protein now is the time. Add thinly sliced beef or small pieces of chicken.
  • If you use beef, keep in mind that it will continue to cook once served so you want to leave it a bit on the medium rare side if not closer to rare.
  • Most stores sell pre-cut beef, that’s typically cut the right thickness for doing stir fry’s and the like. If you’re cutting your own from a whole steak, just make sure the slices aren’t too thick.
• Add your garnishes: green onions (using the white stems as they contain the most flavour) and cilantro. The garnishes will cook fast so keep an eye.
• Now, it’s all done so carefully transfer to a bowl and enjoy!

Because it’s quick and contains few ingredients, Miracle Noodle pho is perfect to make at work if you have access to a stove or kettle. You can also whip up a batch in the short amount of time between work and going out. Additionally, it’s a great post-workout meal that won’t undermine your efforts at the gym.

Products to Use

You can choose what produce and protein to include in your Miracle Noodle Pho. Here are some products you can also include in your dish to enhance its best qualities.

• True Citrus – Lime, Garlic & Cilantro Seasoning
  • This seasoning can replace fresh cilantro, which isn’t always readily available or accessible. The lime component complements the dish and the garlic adds an interesting note. It’s perfect for people who want to dull the cilantro flavour without omitting it completely.
• Go Bio – Low Sodium Organic Vegetable Bouillon Cubes
  • If you want to increase the broth’s flavour, simply add one bouillon cube while cooking. You can always reduce it with water beforehand.
• Hot Mamas Splash Sauce – Lime Pepper
  • Fans of spice and heat should add a splash of Hot Mamas Splash Sauce. We recommend Lime Pepper as it complements this meal’s flavour profile.
