Luke Nguyen dips into his family cookbook to bring you his favourite childhood meal – Vietnamese pho soup.
For high profile chef Luke Nguyen, the traditional Vietnamese pho holds a host of childhood memories. 'One of my favourite dishes growing up, and I think for most Vietnamese kids, is pho,' says Luke. Of course, pho takes pride of place on the menu at Luke's restaurant Fat Noodle at The Star Sydney and Treasury Brisbane. Texas holdem tutorial deutsch.
Luke Nguyen's Fat Noodle Restaurant opened at the Treasury Casino in the city in late 2012. After giving it a few months to settle in, I recently headed there for lunch with a friend to sample its Vietnamese cuisine. Luke Nguyen's stylish 100-seat restaurant nestled within the Treasury is a treat for the senses as Asian fusion rules supreme. With dishes ranging from the minimal, char-grilled pork to the delectably extravagant 20-hour broth, Premium Fat pho noodles, the culinary genius never loses sight of what's important: a genuine high-quality dining. Luke Nguyen of Fat Noodle fame will be one of the celebrity chefs opening restaurants in Brisbane's new casino development. QLD Business Brisbane's 1 William St casino development attracts.
'It's one of our best-selling dishes at Fat Noodle in Sydney and Brisbane. The aromas waft through the whole room and the restaurant… people walking past the restaurant would go, ‘whoa'. It just draws people in.'
Luke has done the unthinkable – and shared his Vietnamese pho recipe for you to try at home. Set aside a few hours and try your hand at his family recipe this weekend.

Spice pouch
- ½ tablespoon coriander seeds
- ½ tablespoon Sichuan pepper
- ½ tablespoon cumin
- ½ tablespoon fennel seeds
- 8 whole cloves
- 5 whole star anise
- 2 cassia bark or cinnamon, about 10 cm (4 inch) in length
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- 40 cm (16 inch) square piece muslin cloth
Method:
- In a large pot, submerge the oxtail in cold water, add 3 tablespoons of the salt and soak for 1 hour, then drain.
- To make the spice pouch, dry roast each ingredient separately in a frying pan over medium heat until fragrant. Cool, then coarsely grind using a mortar and pestle or small spice grinder. Add the ground spices to the muslin square and tie up tightly in a knot. Set aside.
- Heat a barbecue grill or chargrill pan over medium-high heat and grill the unpeeled garlic, onions and ginger evenly for 15 minutes in total until all sides are blackened. Now peel the blackened skins and discard them, and then roughly chop. By doing this, the garlic, onion and ginger becomes sweet and fragrant, releasing more flavour into the stock.
- Put the oxtail, beef bones, brisket and 6 litres of cold water in a stockpot and bring to the boil. While the stock is boiling, constantly skim any impurities off the surface for 15 minutes (this will ensure a clean, clear broth), then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Add the fish sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon of salt, rock sugar, garlic, onions and ginger.
- Cover and simmer for 2 hours. Remove the beef brisket, cover, allow to cool, then refrigerate.
- Simmer the broth for a further 4 hours, then add the spice pouch and simmer for another 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, slice the beef brisket into thin pieces. Blanch each portion of noodles in boiling water for 20 seconds. Drain, then transfer to a serving bowl. Place three or four slices of brisket on top of the noodles, followed by three or four pieces of raw sirloin. Pour over the hot stock to cover the noodles and beef.
- Garnish with one tablespoon of spring onion, a pinch of black pepper and a coriander sprig to each bowl. At the table, add chilli, bean sprouts, basil and a squeeze of lime.

The Greater Blue Mountains region will be showcased to billions of potential tourism visitors when SBS airs the next Luke Nguyen cultural foodie series early next year.
The celebrity chef spent a whirlwind two days in the area recently filming interviews with food producers in the Jamison and Megalong valleys, visits to cultural identities such as the Escarpment Group-owned Hydro Majestic Hotel at Medlow Bath, fusion cooking at Echoes Restaurant and inspiration gathering sessions with Darley's Restaurant Hatted executive chef Lee Kwiez.
The SBS Food Diaries series, which will be shown in 160 countries, will trace Nguyen's journey from his childhood roots and connections in Vietnam to his first restaurant in Surry Hills and his current international success.
Escarpment Group director Huong Nguyen has known Luke (no relation) since he was a child growing up in his family's restaurant at Cabramatta: 'Our fathers were both in the military before the war ended in 1975 and his family came to Australia shortly after mine.''

Both Nguyen families were among two million Vietnamese to flee the Communist regime after it came to power in 1975. 'Despite his humble background, Luke and siblings Pauline and Lewis were all resilient, creative and academically gifted and have all achieved outstanding success.''
Nguyen is best known as the host of television series Luke Nguyen's Vietnam and Luke Nguyen's Street Food Asia. He is also a judge on MasterChef Vietnam and has appeared several times on MasterChef Australia as guest chef.
