The problem with Pho and Ramen is that there isn't' an easy way. The reason it is so damn good is because it has 8+ hours to break down gelatin and collagen in animal bones. With Ramen, there are so many other components to it that all add up to the perfect bowl that require a lot of effort. If it were any simpler, it just wouldn't be ramen. I'm sure it is the same for Pho, but I don't have any experience making Pho. And that's the best part. It's one of the few dishes we can't just "simplify" and break down into some fast and casual chain restaurant.
