Coconut Water

Instructions
- Make the Guotie Filling: In a bowl, mix ground beef, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, peanut oil, sesame oil, shredded cabbage, chopped ginger, and shallot.
- Make the Dumplings: Place a small portion of the meat mixture in the center of each dumpling wrapper.
- Pinch opposite sides of the dough together to seal, forming a crescent shape. Set aside.
- Make the Pho Broth: Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté star anise, cloves, cinnamon stick, coriander seeds, and black peppercorns until fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add ginger and onion and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the apple, chicken thighs, chicken broth, and fish sauce. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes.
- Finish the Guotie: Heat peanut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place guotie in a single layer in the skillet. Cover and cook for 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, carefully pour in water (it may spatter), and cook covered until the water is absorbed and the dumpling bottoms are golden and crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Pho: Transfer the chicken from the broth to a plate. Strain the broth into a clean pot, discarding solids.
- Add rice noodles to the broth and let sit until tender, about 3–4 minutes (or follow package instructions).
- Shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Portion the pho into bowls and garnish with cilantro and sliced chili pepper (if desired). Serve alongside guotie, fortune cookies, and chilled coconut water.
