📝 Preparation Steps

After ⏱️ 15 minutes of boiling, you will see that the water has become grey, and the impurities have risen to the top. Pour out the water and rinse the beef ribs until they look clean and there's no blood stuck to the beef. Set aside. Wash you Instapot so it's extra clean too and wipe it dry.

Once your beef pho is done, start making your rice noodles. Soak them in boiling water for ⏱️ 5 minutes and strain. Set noodles aside. This ensures that your noodles stay al dente and not too mushy versus putting the noodles in the pot while cooking the broth.
