Step-by-Step Oxtail Phở Recipe
Ingredients
For the Broth:
- Oxtail bones
- Beef bones (preferably marrow bones)
- Chicken bones (lightly grilled)
- Large onions (lightly grilled)
- Ginger (halved and lightly grilled)
- Fresh lemongrass stalks (smashed)
- Water (enough to cover the bones)
- Salt, fish sauce, and rock sugar to taste
- Daikon white radish
For the Flavour Base:
- Homemade saté chili sauce
- Fresh herbs (Thai basil, green onion, cilantro)
- Bean sprouts
- Lime wedges
- Sliced jalapeños or Thai chillies (optional)
- Rice noodles (bánh phở)
- Thinly sliced beef (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bones:
Rinse all bones under cold water. Optionally, blanch them in boiling water for 5–10 minutes, then drain and rinse for a clearer broth. - Grill the Aromatics:
Char the halved onions and ginger until slightly blackened for a smoky, deep flavour. - Simmer the Broth:
In a large pot, combine bones, grilled aromatics, and lemongrass. Cover with water and boil, then simmer gently for 24 hours. Skim off foam as needed. - Season the Broth:
Strain the broth into another pot. Add white radish daikon, salt, fish sauce, and rock sugar to taste. Stir in saté chilli sauce for depth. - Prepare the Noodles:
Cook rice noodles per package instructions, drain, and set aside. - Assemble the Bowls:
Add noodles to each bowl. Ladle in hot broth and top with herbs, sprouts, lime, and chillies. Add sliced beef if desired. - Serve:
Serve hot. Let diners customize with more herbs, lime, or chilli sauce.
