Instructions

1.
In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Gently lower the egg into the boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes for a perfectly soft-boiled egg. Immediately transfer the egg to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
2.
While the egg is cooking, gently reheat the leftover pho broth on the stovetop until simmering. Be careful not to boil vigorously.
3.
If the leftover noodles are clumped together, you can gently warm them in the broth or rinse them under hot water to loosen them.
4.
Peel the soft-boiled egg carefully. It should be runny in the center.
5.
Place the noodles in a bowl, then ladle the hot pho broth over the noodles.
6.
Top with the soft-boiled egg, fresh bean sprouts, and chopped fresh herbs.
7.
Add sriracha and hoisin sauce to taste, if desired. Serve with a lime wedge for squeezing, if desired.

Chef's Tips

For a jammy yolk, cook the egg for 7 minutes. For a runnier yolk, cook for 6 minutes.

If you don't have leftover noodles, you can quickly cook fresh rice noodles according to package directions.

Customize the toppings to your liking. Sliced scallions, jalapenos, or a squeeze of lime juice are all great additions.
