Can I use store-bought broth?

Absolutely, Look for low-sodium versions so you control the salt. My trick? Boost flavor by simmering it with extra ginger and star anise for 10 minutes before using. The better your broth, the better your pho - but even basic store-bought works in a pinch.

How to make it gluten-free?

Easy peasy, Just check your fish sauce brand (Red Boat and Three Crabs are GF). The rice noodles are naturally gluten-free too. Watch out for premade broths with hidden gluten - always read labels if you're sensitive.

Best noodles to substitute?

If you can't find pho noodles, pad Thai rice noodles work great. Avoid vermicelli - they're too thin. In a real emergency? Linguine (I know, sacrilege - but it works texture-wise.) Just undercook them slightly since they'll soften more in the hot broth.
