Ingredients


  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken or beef broth (make sure it’s sugar-free)

  • 1 cup lean sliced beef or chicken breast (beef flank or chicken breast work well)

  • Ideal protein konjac noodles

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced

  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1-inch piece of ginger, sliced

  • 1-2 star anise pods (optional for flavor)

  • 1-2 whole cloves (optional for flavor)

  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (check for no sugar added)

  • 1 cup bean sprouts

  • Fresh herbs for garnish (basil, cilantro, or mint, as allowed)

  • Lime wedges for serving

  • Optional: sliced jalapeños for heat


Shirataki and konjac noodles are both phase 1 friendly.

Preparation


  1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine the broth, sliced onion, garlic, ginger, star anise, cloves, and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes to develop the flavors.

  2. Cook the Protein: If using chicken breast, you can poach it in the broth until fully cooked (about 10-15 minutes). If using beef, you can slice it thinly and add it to the hot broth just before serving so it cooks quickly.

  3. Strain the Broth: Once the broth is flavorful, strain it to remove the solids (onion, ginger, spices) if desired. Return the broth to the pot.

  4. Assemble the Pho: In bowls, add the cooked protein and top with bean sprouts. Pour the hot broth over the top.

  5. Garnish: Add fresh herbs and lime wedges. If desired, add sliced jalapeños for extra spice.

  6. Serve: Enjoy your healthy, flavorful pho!
