Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken or beef broth
- 2 star anise pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoon ginger, sliced
- 1 onion, halved
- 1 pound chicken breast or beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces gluten-free rice noodles
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Sliced jalapeños, for serving
- Soy sauce or tamari, for seasoning
- Bean sprouts, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine the chicken or beef broth, star anise, cinnamon stick, ginger, and onion. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the Protein: If using chicken, add it to the pot and cook until fully cooked (about 15 minutes). For beef, it’s best to add the thinly sliced meat just before serving to keep it tender and juicy.
- Cook the Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the gluten-free rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Assemble the Pho: Divide the cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and top with the sliced chicken or beef.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh basil, cilantro, lime wedges, sliced jalapeños, and bean sprouts as desired. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade gluten-free pho!
