How To Make Vegan Pho

By Tasty9 hr 30 min6 servings

Warm up your soul with this aromatic Vegan Pho, a delightful twist on the classic Vietnamese noodle soup. Packed with flavorful spices and fresh veggies, this comforting dish will leave you craving more!

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add the dried shiitake mushrooms to a medium bowl and pour in enough water to cover. Cover with a dish towel and let hydrate for 8 hours, then rinse and drain the mushrooms 2-3 times. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large pan over medium heat, dry sear the onions until caramelized on both sides, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the daikon radish and ginger. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in the pan. Add the oyster mushrooms and sauté until browned and caramelized, 6-8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the caramelized onions, daikon, ginger, oyster mushrooms, and soaked shiitake mushrooms to a large stock pot. Add the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low heat and cover. Simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours. The longer it cooks, the stronger the flavor of the broth will be. Season with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    About 30 minutes before serving, combine the cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom, star anise, coriander, and fennel in a fine-mesh sieve. Lower into the pot, resting the sieve on the edge, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove the spices and add the tofu to heat through, 10-15 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove the pot from the heat. Remove the onions, daikon, and ginger from the pot. (Slice and add them back to the soup, if desired.)

  8. 8

    Add the noodles to serving bowls and ladle in the broth, mushrooms, and tofu.

  9. 9

    Garnish with red onion, bean sprouts, chile peppers, a squeeze of lime, and cilantro.

  10. 10

    Enjoy!
