- Preheat the oven to the broiler (as hot as it can go- heat coming from the top of the oven).
- Put onions and ginger on a baking tray and put in oven for 5 minutes or so (keep any eye on this- the idea is to have the onions and ginger char slightly). Take out of the oven and set aside.
- Heat a stock pot on medium heat, and put the spices in the pot. Let the spices toast for about 2 minute. They will start to smell!
- While toasting the spices, cut the carrots and leek into 1 inch chunks. Crush the lemon grass (this brings out of the flavour), and cut in half lengthwise.
- Proceed to add all the vegetables: onions, ginger, garlic, carrots, leeks, dehydrated Shitake mushrooms, lemon grass. Add the vegetable stock, soy sauce, then fill the pot with water (about two inches away from the top)
- Stir and bring to a boil.
- Once at a boil, turn down the heat to a low simmer, and leave to simmer for at least 3 hours. You can put the lid on for this. The more you leave to simmer, the more flavour it will have! All day is ideal.
- About 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve, prepare the toppings.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add your noodles and cook and packaging instructs. Drain and put aside.
- Cut fresh shitake mushrooms in half. Cut the bottoms off of the pak choi.
- Heat a frying pan on medium heat with a little oil, and toss the garlic in. Leave for about 2 minutes, and then add mushrooms and pak choi.
- Stirring frequently, let the mushrooms and pak choi cook until slightly soft.
- Pour the broth through a sieve or strainer in your serving bowl. Put noodles in the broth. Top with mushroom and pak choi mixture. Top with some cilantro and Thai basil, and a handful of bean sprouts. If you like it spicy, chop jalapeño and place on top with a squirt of sriracha!
The national dish of Vietnam, pho is an aromatic noodle soup that's traditionally made with beef broth. Here, store-bought vegetable broth is spiked with onion, garlic, and spices for a full-bodied vegetarian alternative. This vegetarian pho is an exception, though. The broth, which picks up great flavor from the spices, a slight sweetness from the carrots, and the subtlest of charred aromas from the onion and ginger, is what truly makes this soup for me. I prefer keeping the toppings to a minimum so I can let the broth stand out and take center stage.
