Pho broth (refrigerated)
Warm and aromatic with notes of star anise and charred onion.
Lens analyzedRefrigerated pho broth is a Vietnamese beef or chicken broth simmered with charred aromatics and warm spices, sold fresh and chilled rather than frozen or canned. The spice blend, especially star anise, is what gives it its distinct aroma.
Where it comes from
Pho broth traditionally simmers for hours over bones and whole spices like star anise and cinnamon, and refrigerated grocery versions let home cooks skip that long process without losing the layered flavor.
Buying it
Check the ingredient list for whole spices and real bones rather than a shortcut base built mostly on bouillon.
Storing it
Refrigerate it and use it within the days noted on the package, or freeze it if you want to hold it longer.
Keeps about 5 days in the fridge.
