Thats the quick american style Pho. No where near the vietnamese style cooking.
If you want real flavor beef broth. You have to boil beef leg bones for hours then add what ever spices you want.
The onions has to be flamed under fire to get the cooked onion smell.
Dont forget a grip load of MSG for stronger flavor. Im hungry now, time to hit up pho 999 on sepulveda blvd.
