Fried pho is a favorite dish of most families, especially young children, because of its delicious and crispy flavor. However, to prepare golden and crispy fried pho, housewives need to master some techniques in the processing process.
To make delicious puffed pho, prepare 500g of pho rolls (original uncut leaves), 300ml of cooking oil (ensure enough oil to fry all over the cake).
The main ingredients include 300g beef tenderloin, 200g bok choy, 1 onion, 1 carrot and some basic spices such as minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, tapioca starch. The smooth consistency of the sauce is the secret to helping pho noodles maintain their crispness when enjoyed.
After buying pho noodles, leave them in the stack and cut them into even square or rectangular pieces, about 3cmx4cm in size. Note that you should stack about 3-4 layers of pho noodles on top of each cut piece, then use your hands to gently press the edges to make the layers stick together.
This method will help the pho noodle cake when encountering high temperatures create an air chamber in the middle, helping the pho noodle pieces expand and become hollow. Accordingly, when processing, use a deep pan and pour cooking oil to boil thoroughly.
Next, dip the wooden chopstick head into the oil pan, if you see a strong bubbling, you can drop each piece of pho into the frying. When the pho noodles start to rise and float, use chopsticks to flip them evenly on all sides to make the pho noodles golden brown evenly.
The secret to making pho fried crispy for a long time and not oil-absorbed is that when the cake has an eye-catching golden color, increase the heat for about the last 30 seconds before picking it up. High temperature will squeeze out excess oil inside the cake, helping the crust shrink and dry. After picking, put the pho cake on a plate lined with oil-absorbing paper to drain the fat.
For the stir-fried beef, dissolve 1 teaspoon of tapioca starch with a little water until it is smooth to soak into the meat and vegetables. Then spread the entire beef mixture onto fried pho to help the dish retain its crispness for longer.
A plate of hot fried pho with golden, crispy pieces blended with rich beef sauce will be an attractive dinner for the whole family.
