Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Start by making the stock. Put all ingredients into a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Skim off any froth, simmer for 3 hrs, then tip through a fine sieve.

  2. Step 2

    To make the pho, place the onion, garlic and ginger in a saucepan, then add the fish sauce, soy sauce, star anise and sugar. Add the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 45 mins.

  3. Step 3

    Put the noodles in a bowl, cover with boiling water, leave for 10 mins, then drain and rinse with cold water.

  4. Step 4

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion, garlic, ginger and star anise from the pho. Add the turkey meat and spring onions and cook for 2-3 mins. Taste and season, adding the lime juice and extra soy and fish sauce to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Split the noodles between four bowls. Add bean sprouts and the hot pho to each bowl, then top with the herbs and chilli.
