Flavours of Pho with Vegetable Dumplings
Ingredients
1 pack of Mr Chen’s Gluten Free Vegetable Gyoza
Flavours of Pho Stock
1L water
30grams beef stock base or beef stock cubes
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 large knob ginger, sliced.
1/2 onion, large dice
Pinch salt
2 cloves garlic
2 whole star anise
1 cinnamon stick
Assembly
1 cup picked Thai basil leaves
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup picked coriander leaves
1 long red chilli sliced
1 lime, cut into wedges
Method
Add the beef stock and 1L water to a large saucepan and bring to a low boil. Add the fish sauce, sugar, ginger, onion and salt to the stock and reduce the heat to a simmer. Add garlic, star anise and cinnamon stick to the broth and simmer for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 45 minutes otherwise it might get too strong in flavour.
Taste the broth to see that the spice Flavours have been extracted and adjust seasonings if necessary. Strain the broth then return to the saucepan.
Bring the broth back to a simmer. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Cook the vegetable Gyoza then drain the water and add the gyoza straight to the broth, dish out the Gyoza between serving bowls.
Top each bowl with Thai basil, bean sprouts, coriander, chilies.
Garnish with a lime wedge.
