Pho is my go-to meal each time I catch a cold. I made Instant pot Pho a week ago when I caught a cold. It wasn’t even funny as I had sleepless nights, so I made some bone broth. I made a large quantity and kept it in the fridge. Since I still had enough leftover broth, I decided to use it to make pot pho. Initially, I was caught between making dumplings and Pho. Finally, I settled for the latter and I am glad I did! Thanks to my beloved instant pot, I got my gluten-free Pho ready in a short time. No 24 hours here!
