Stove top

PHO INGREDIENTS (makes 2-3 bowls depending on how big of a bowl you'd like):
1 large white onion
3-inch piece of fresh ginger
5 star anise
4 whole cloves
3 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks 
2 cardamom pods
1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
8 cups good-quality beef stock (or chicken or vegetable stock)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons fish sauce
fine sea salt, to taste

PHO SOUP INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces raw steak, very thinly sliced (or chicken, pork, or shrimp)
7 ounces uncooked thin rice noodles
1/2 tablespoon of oil (sesame works great for this dish, but olive oil or veggie oil will work too!)

*Additional garnishes: fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, and/or Thai basil), bean sprouts, lime wedges, thinly-sliced chiles (Thai bird chiles or jalapeños), thinly-sliced onions (green onions or white onions), sauces (hoisin and/or sriracha).

Kitchen tools needed: one large pot for broth, one medium/large skillet for onion, ginger and meat cooking (we will use twice), one medium/large pot to boil noodles, stove top utensils, mesh strainer (a normal colander will not work, as we need to strain out herbs. if you do not have a mesh strainer, a re-useable tea holder will work to place herbs in), knife, cutting board.
