been buying over and over again, great spices!

YES. This is a great spice packet!!!! I toast 1 spice packet (sometimes two depending on how many bones and liquid I have) in a pan for maybe a minute and set aside. I get my large InstaPot, add a few tbsp of EVOO, set my InstaPot on sauté to brown the bones making sure not to crowd the pot which sometimes takes a few times depending on the amount of bones. We have also added lamb bones from a leftover dinner to the beef bones and it was great. Ham hocks would be good also. Once the bones are done browning, I turn off the sauté and I add 2 quartered onions, 6 inches of peeled fresh ginger, 8 cloves of garlic, a tbsp of brown sugar, 1/4 cup fish sauce and a few tbsp of soy sauce then add as much store bought beef stock as I can to the max fill line of the InstaPot which is anywhere between 8-10 cups. I add the spices, close the InstaPot and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes then let the pressure release naturally. Once done, I let it cool down enough to safely handle then strain the liquid through a mesh strainer into a big bowl, cover the full bowl with plastic wrap and stick in the frig overnight to let the fat solidify. The next day I can very easily take off the fat then I am ready to portion into freezer zip lock bags, label and freeze. Fresh pho whenever I want!!!

I would order again. Shipped fast.

I bought these to make a authentic Pho. I work in a Thai restaurant and this is the exact brand she uses. I made the soup exactly as she does and it came out flavorless. There is only one thing I did differently. I used the spice bag it came with and she doesn’t. Now I know why. It’s so thick it holds all the flavor of the spices. There wasn’t even a hint of flavor of those spices in a beef broth I cooked for 3 hours. The bag floated and kept a air pocket inside and I should have caught on but I will know now not to use it next time. Use cheese cloth instead. The broth I made was rich and good just no flavor from the seasoning which is a major part of pho.

I’ve absolutely loved how easy these are. No more picking through my spice cabinet. Plus the spice bag this comes with! I can fit my ginger and onion in this to help with straining afterwords!

These spices exceeded my expectations. I have tried to make pho a million times but have never had any real luck. I made a few batches until it was perfected but it was not easy as I cannot read languages other than English. This packaging is all written in another language. There are however, recipes that you can look up online if you type the product name into the search bar. I made three batches before it turned out just right. The wonderful thing about this was, there is such a great amount of spices in each package that you can use one pack for a minimum of two batches of pho depending on how many you're cooking for. Also, keep in mind that these spices are very strong. I learned by the third batch that I did not need to have these boiling in the broth until the last 30 minutes or so of cooking time. Very high quality, very aromatic, very good value. Highly recommended.
