8020:-instant-pot-pho

Today we’re 80/20ing Vietnamese Pho, turning what might normally take 5-7 hours to prepare over stovetop to a little over 1 hour in an InstantPot. Traditionally, making pho calls for many steps like parboiling beef bones, charring aromatics over open fire or in an oven, roasting spices, and skimming fat off the broth for many hours. Not everyone has the luxury of time or energy to make pho in this way, and of course if you do have time, you can always stay true to some of the traditional steps to improve the clarity, richness, and flavor of your broth, but I want to show you that you can still make an exceptional bowl of pho at home even if you commit what seems to be a cardinal sin of omitting almost all those steps.
