I wouldnt call it a shorter time but definitely a gentle boil. I’ve made pho broth where I’ve kept the pho boiling for 24 hours before not for a specific reason. Just didn’t have time to deal with the broth and it was an easy way to keep the broth from going bad.

Not sure if I’ll ever try making the noodles by hand. I actually prefer pho over ramen and from making ramen it feels like pho is easier.

I think I just really like beef soup.
