pho is for texans

howdy all:

i know its been a minute since our last post, so to kick off the holiday season, and the cooler weather which will hopefully stick, i wanted to share my new favorite pho recipe. this isn't a traditional pho per se, i had my buddy chuck norris give it a texas sized kick in the pants. hope you like it!

what you need:

32 oz  beef broth
8 oz cooked brisket
2 green onions
1 lime
1 jalapeño
1 bunch cilantro
1 can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 package of rice noodles ( i like the brown rice kind)
soy sauce  bbq sauce and pepper to taste

how to do it:

chop up two chipotle peppers and throw them in a sauce pan with the beef broth. add a few tablespoons of soy sauce, some pepper and put on medium heat. if you like a little more heat, add some of the adobo sauce in too. i like a little spicy bbq sauce in there also.

in another medium sauce pan, boil the water for the noodles. follow the cooking directions on the package, but generally they take about 4-5 mins to cook. when they get to the right consistency for you, strain and rinse with cold water.

chop the jalapeños and onions thinly, and the lime into quarters. roughly chop the cilantro and place all the garnishes aside on a plate.

trim any excess fat from the brisket, thinly slice and chop to large bite sized pieces. place half of the cooked noodles and brisket in the bottom of two large bowls and then ladle on the broth. add your garnishes and enjoy!

add your favorite garnishes and enjoy with chopsticks and a big spoon! this recipe make two servings the beef and broth can be substituted with chicken and chicken broth, or even some left over turkey.
