Quick and Easy 1-Hour Pho

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 6 cups chicken broth or beef broth
• 8 ounces rice noodles
• 1 pound cooked beef or chicken, thinly sliced
• 2 cups bean sprouts
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Directions

Place star anise, cinnamon, fennel, cloves, and coriander seeds in the center of a 6- by 6-inch double-layered square of cheesecloth. Tie into a pouch with butcher's twine. Set aside. Combine beef chuck, chicken, and egg white in a large bowl and toss to combine. Transfer 1/4 of mixture to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until a very rough puree is formed, about 15 one-second pulses. Transfer to another bowl. Repeat with remaining beef/chicken mixture until it is all processed. Set aside.
