Yay! I finally found time to put up a new post. Here's how I made homemade pho! Not too shabby for my first time, but definitely needs to be worked on. After all cooking is basically trial and error. Twas still delicious though ^-^ 

Ingredients:

3 slices of ginger
16 cups water
8-10 chicken wings/legs
1 tbs salt
Cinnamon to taste (optional)
1/4 cup fish sauce
Pho noodles

Optional Garnishes:
Scallions
Onions
Cilantro
Jalapenos
Sriracha
Bean Sprouts

1. Bake onions and ginger on a baking sheet at 400 F
2. Bring 16 cups of water to a boil in a stockpot. 
3. Add in cinnamon (optional), salt (adjust to taste), chicken, and cooked onions and ginger. Boil for 1 hour at med-low heat.
4. Remove chicken from pot. Debone, and refrigerate the meat. Put the bones back into the pot.
5. Cook for 2 hours and add in fish sauce and salt (if needed); adjust to taste
6.Prepare noodles according to package right before ready to serve. 
7. Serve and add shredded chicken and optional garnishes.
