Step-by-step
- Heat a dry frying pan and toast the spices quickly till they become aromatic. Remove and keep on the side.
- Slice on onion in half and char it flat side down in a hot, dry pan until black. Remove, and add the ginger until coloured on both sides.
- Debone the short ribs, browning the bone in a dry pan on every side.
- Add the bone to the crockpot with stock, water, onion, the garlic clove, spices, ginger, coriander stalks and shiitake mushrooms.
- Slice the short rib lengthways in thin slices and add to the pot.
- For best results, set your Crock-Pot or slow cooker to low (for 4-6 hours' cooking). You could also use high (for 2-3 hours' cooking).
- Cook until the beef gets soft to the bite but doesn’t break up.
- Add fish sauce and salt to taste.
- Remove the bones, spices, ginger, garlic and lemongrass, then portion into bowls with the prepared noodles.
- Slice the spring onion and chilli, add to the pho and top with lightly torn coriander leaves and mint. Serve with lime wedges.
