Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring broth to a boil in a large pot. Add fish sauce and stir to combine.

  2. Step 2

    Add shrimp and squid to the boiling broth. Cook for 2–3 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. Step 3

    While seafood cooks, place rice noodles in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let sit 4–5 minutes until tender, then drain.

  4. Step 4

    Divide noodles between two bowls. Top with cooked seafood and hot broth, then scatter fried tofu and bean sprouts on top.

  5. Step 5

    Serve pho with summer rolls, lime wedges, and small bowls of dipping sauces (sriracha, hoisin, chili sauce) on the side.
