Instructions

  3. 3
    Strain. Season with fish sauce.
  4. 4
    Cook rice noodles per package instructions, distribute into bowls.
  5. 5
    Place raw beef slices on the noodles — the hot broth will cook it.

    Pour hot broth over.
  7. 7
    Drizzle cold cannabis oil over the finished bowl.
  8. 8
    Serve with Thai basil, cilantro, lime, and chili.

Pro Tips

  • Always drizzle cannabis oil cold over the finished bowl — never add to boiling broth.
  • Authentic pho takes time. The broth can be made the day before.
