Pho Seafood/Chicken
3 cups broth ½ cup seafood/chicken (I use more)
1 clove garlic (minced) 1 tbsp. oil
3 tbsp. fish sauce 1 tbsp. ginger (minced)
chilies to taste 3 noodle "nests"
green onions (chopped) red onion (slice thinly)
prepare rice vermicelli noodles and set aside
sauté meat in garlic and ginger (if you use grilled shrimp and there is no need to sauté, add the garlic and ginger to the broth)
bring broth to a rolling boil
put the vermicelli in a large bowl, place meat, green onions and red onions over noodles. pour broth over the noodles…eat! You can add any veggie you like...I have had it with cabbage, carrots...whatever veggie is safe for you.
most of this is done to taste…
Vietnamese people add fresh bean sprouts and mint to their soup.
Excellent and very low in fat!
If you are in a hurry you can use a can of chicken broth, add 1 T of fish sauce for every 8 oz broth.
I have a few other recipes...will post them as soon as I have them typed up. Have a blessed day!

Should the broth be separate from the "meat"?
What is a noodle nest?
How much of each onion?
What are chilies and where do you buy them?

generally the vietnamese take a pkg of rice noodles and make a "nest" into each bowl. They then top the noodles with the meat, onions, bean sprouts, mint and such and then pour broth over the whole shebang.
There is nothing scientific about making this...it is all a matter of taste. I love this stuff!

you mean you boil the noodles and then form them into the shape of a nest? Or somehow weave them into a nest looking shape and fill it with the other stuff?
I need to get an Asian cookbook!

Yes.... yes, you do!
I always just put the noodles in the bowl - nothing scientific about it. The noodles are quite long and kind of stick to each other, like pasta does, so you can just kind of coil it around in the bowl if you want to. Think about taking cooked spaghetti and putting it in a bowl, and laying it in a circle so that there's a little bit of an "indent" in the middle.
But honestly, that's more work than I go through. I just put them in the bowl!

No...you just plop the noodles in a bowl though I would recommend rinsing them (it makes the noodles less sticky). They look like nests when you get them in the bowl.

I didn't take noodle weaving 101 in college...so I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to make this! Can you imagine me trying to weave noodles into a nest shape? Sometimes I can really say dorky things!
Casey, have you made this soup before? How much cabbage and onions did you make? Is it a green head of cabbage in the produce aisle? I never bought cabbage before and don't know if it's canned or what! 
Does it make three servings....since it says 3 "nests" (noodle weaves)?
But, I was really thinking I was missing something here!

I usually use green onions, cilantro and bean sprouts. Authentic Vietnamese noodle shops will place a plate full of leafy greens to go in your soup. I love them but can't identify them all and alas most of the folks that work there speak only vietnamese!
