Pho (pronounced like fah or fuh) is a fragrant Vietnamese noodle soup. Tom fell in love with this dish and it became his late-night post-work dinner while he was living in Toronto and working as a chef.

Mince the ginger.
Peel and roughly dice the onion.
Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
Place the onion, garlic and ginger in a pot with the water and the pho spices. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the tofu from the packet and pat dry.
Bring a large pot of water to boil with a little salt.
Very roughly chop the coriander stalk and leaves into large pieces.
Pick the Vietnamese mint and rip into large pieces.
Thinly slice the spring onions.
Slice the chili.
Cut the tofu into 1 to 2 cm cubes and toss with cornflour. Place the coated tofu in a sieve (over the sink) and shake off the excess cornflour.
Strain the broth into a bowl. Keep the stock! The onion and garlic can be added back in.
Add the soy sauce to the stock along with a little salt. You want the broth to be quite salty as it will mellow once everything else is added.
Heat a large frypan with a splash of oil.
Once hot, cook the tofu for about 5 minutes, turning regularly until crispy. Place on a paper towel and season well with the salt and peppers mix.
While the tofu is frying, cook the noodles in boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes or until tender, stirring regularly.
Once the noodles are cooked, strain and place in a serving bowl. Pour over broth, top with herbs, spring onions, chili, bean sprouts and tofu. Squeeze over lime and dig in!
