Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the broth: slice the ginger and onion into thick pieces. In a large pot over medium heat, add the ginger and onion, and toast until fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
2. Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon stick, and cloves to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and let the broth simmer gently for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. In a separate pot, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
4. In a pan, cook the plant-based brisket according to its package instructions and set aside.
5. Prepare the toppings: slice the jalapeno thinly, and cut the limes into wedges.
6. After simmering the broth for 30 minutes, strain it through a fine sieve to remove the solids, returning the liquid to the pot.
7. To assemble the Pho, divide the cooked rice noodles into serving bowls, ladle the hot broth over the noodles, and top with slices of the cooked plant-based brisket.
8. Serve with a generous amount of bean sprouts, fresh basil, cilantro, mint, lime wedges, and jalapeno slices.
9. Accompany each bowl with hoisin sauce and sriracha on the side, allowing each person to customize their bowl to taste.
