Name: Shirataki Noodle Pho
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Yield: 2 Servings
Ingredients: 4 cups low-sodium chicken or beef broth (make sure it’s sugar-free); 1 cup lean sliced beef or chicken breast (beef flank or chicken breast work well); Ideal protein konjac noodles; 1 small onion, thinly sliced; 2-3 cloves garlic, minced; 1-inch piece of ginger, sliced; 1-2 star anise pods (optional for flavor); 1-2 whole cloves (optional for flavor); 1 tbsp fish sauce (check for no sugar added); 1 cup bean sprouts; Fresh herbs for garnish (basil, cilantro, or mint, as allowed); Lime wedges for serving; Optional: sliced jalapeños for heat

Preparation

Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine the broth, sliced onion, garlic, ginger, star anise, cloves, and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes to develop the flavors.
Cook the Protein: If using chicken breast, you can poach it in the broth until fully cooked (about 10-15 minutes). If using beef, you can slice it thinly and add it to the hot broth just before serving so it cooks quickly.
Strain the Broth: Once the broth is flavorful, strain it to remove the solids (onion, ginger, spices) if desired. Return the broth to the pot.
Assemble the Pho: In bowls, add the cooked protein and top with bean sprouts. Pour the hot broth over the top.
Garnish: Add fresh herbs and lime wedges. If desired, add sliced jalapeños for extra spice.
Serve: Enjoy your healthy, flavorful pho!
