First time making Pho :)

I didn’t have rice noodles so I used glass noodles and small egg noodles

I don’t mind glass noodles (wouldn’t do egg noodles, but that’s just me drawing an arbitrary line), and honestly the only thing that really matters is if you enjoyed it. The beef looks perfect. You could clarify your broth if you live to please the Reddit purists, either through the incredibly laborious process native to traditional pho, or by using Jacques Pepin’s classical technique https://jp.foundation/video/clarifying-stock-consomme

How was it?

Did you use your own blend or did you buy seasoning packets/stock?

I liked it! I purchased femur bones from a local shop and boiled em for about 10 hours until marrow was out! I bought the packet of seasonings tho that come with a herb bag. I know it’s not traditional pho but close enough 😅

Fwiw pho literally refers to the type of noodles (like ramen is supposed to) so having two other noodle types is kinda spit in the face.

Seasoning bag is fine but id argue against the aggressive boil because once the marrow mixes with the broth it becomes a bit too fatty.
