PHO BROTH fixing? I've already simmered the stuff listed below for practically 20 hours and it stillll taste watery... so i added more fish sauce & salt but stilllll taste like water. how do i fix it.-6 quarts water-parboiled bones (about 5 lbs)-wrapped in cheesecloth: cilantro, cinnamon stick, charred & peeled ginger, crystal ginger, & chunk of cane sugar-2 medium yellow onions (charred & peeled)-about 6 tbsp of Fish sauce-about 4 tbsp saltIt has very little flavor... very water-tasting. I didn't add star anise because they don't sell it around here. And I can't just go to a pho restaurant because they don't have any where I live.... help.Next time I'll try adding some beef broth. But I put my pot in the fridge for a few hours to solidify the fat. Once there was a thick yellow layer of fat on the surface of the broth, I scraped it out and tasted the broth... it was MUCH tastier without the fat. I thought more fat in the broth was suppose to make it tasty but maybe not... or not that much fat anyway.
