We made quick pho again but on Meredith's behest, we went super light on the spices. I think it was 1/2 tsp coriander and 2-3 star anise. We still charred the ginger and onions (in the pan) and used the fish sauce at the end. I think it was fine with fewer spices. I would say more coriander and some cinnamon. Skipping the pepper, clove, additional salt, and cardamom were fine; especially reducing the salt. Also it is debatable if toasting the spices make a difference.

We served it with rutabaga noodles and just egg (no other protein). We also super-finely sliced onion and added that with the fish sauce to wilt. We also forgot the gelatin. Not sure if that mattered or not but it was fine. I would add it next time.

I updated the recipe page with the instructions on2015-01-28. I may (in the future) update with these lower spice amounts. See "changes" section on that page for details.
