Ingredients Â
- 2 turkey legs or thighs, 3 lbs
- 8 ½ cups poultry stock
- 1 large onion peeled and quartered
- 2 green onions
- 3 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ½ tsp cloves whole
- ¼ tsp coriander seeds
- ¼ tsp fennel seeds
- 2 whole cardamom
- 2 inches ginger unpeeled and sliced
- ½ oz rock sugar
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 5 ½ oz pho noodles
Garnishes and Pho Herbs Platter on the Side
- ½ small white onion thinly sliced
- ½ bunch cilantro roughly chopped
- 1 jalapeno sliced
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 8 ½ oz Thai basil
- 1 lime wedged
- 1 tsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp sriracha hot sauce
- fresh mint leaves
- 3 ½ oz bean sprouts raw or cooked as desired
Instructions
-
Toast your aromatics (star anise, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, fennel, cardamom) in your Instant Pot (saute mode) for 1 to 2 minutes. Add ginger, green onions, white onions and stir for 30 seconds, let char slightly. You will be able to smell the aroma this spices release.
-
Remove the onions and ginger and put all the toasted spices into nut milk bags (because that means you can just pull it out once the soup is done!)
-
Blanch your turkey thighs and legs in a boiling pot of water to remove the impurities and blood.
-
Place all your ingredients in the Instant Pot including toasted aromatics, turkey legs and thighs, rock sugar and poultry broth and set the pressure to high for 15 minutes.
-
Quick-release the pressure and carefully pull the turkey out with a pair of tongs.
-
Roughly remove the meat from the bones. If there’s some stuck to the bones that ok. In fact, you would want some meat left on the bones for flavour.
-
Put the bones back into the Instant Pot and set the pressure to high again for another 15 minutes!
-
When it’s finally done, let the pressure naturally release.
-
While the pressure is naturally releasing, you can cook your pho noodles.
-
Soak the rice noodles in hot water until opaque. Drain, rinse and set aside.
-
Strain the broth when it is done through a fine-mesh strainer/sieve over a large pot. If you want a super clear broth, line the strainer with muslin. Discard the solids. If you find your broth cooled, reheat the broth on the stovetop on high heat for 30-60 seconds.
-
Season with fish sauce and assemble your bowl turkey pho noodle soup. Arrange the turkey on top of the noodles, garnish with finely chopped green onions, cilantro, basil, and a squeeze of lime to taste.
-
Enjoy with any extras as desired!
