If you are making Chicken Pho Tron, just keep the whole piece of chicken. If you are making Beef Pho Tron, cut the beef into thin slices. Also wash the vegetables.

With Pickled Carrot and Daikon, please refer to this guide.

Unlike Rice vermicelli, Pho Noodle is normally thinner, and you can cook it by simply soaking in boiling water. Boil water, pour over Pho Noodle, let it sit for 5-8 minutes then rinse it under cool water. Note that you should always check the instruction on the package of the Pho Noodle you bought; each brand will have a little difference in cooking time, depend on the thickness of the noodle.

Cooking the meat: With Chicken, boil your chicken until fully cooked then shred it into bite-size pieces. If you are making Pho Tron with Beef, blanch beef slices in boiling water. Remember to blanch them until just cooked, otherwise your beef slices can be chewy.

To make dressing sauce, mix all ingredients for the sauce in a saucepan or a pot, then turn on low heat. While waiting, you can mix tapioca starch with water until fully dissolved. Once the sauce boils, pour the tapioca mixture in and quickly stir for everything to combine.

With peanut and shallot, if you haven't had roasted peanuts and fried shallots, you can make them yourself. It would take you around 15-30 minutes. I usually buy already roasted peanuts and fried shallots from supermarket to save time.

It’s time to combine everything into Pho Tron. Add Pho noodle, beef/chicken, vegetables, pickled carrot and daikon, then garnish with roasted peanut and fried shallot. Finally, add the dressing sauce and enjoy.
