20 Minute Pho

Pho-get about slaving over a hot stove. There’s one word to describe this dish, and it’s “yum." Traditionally pho is simmered for at least six hours, but not this one. You’re looking at 20 minutes before you’ll be devouring a flavourful and nourishing meal that feels like a hug. The flavour in this is 10 out of 10 and our Beef Bone Broth helps to nourish you from the inside out.
