Pho (pronounced: fuh)
is a Vietnamese dish that consists of vermicelli/clear-flat noodles
cooked in a steaming warm bowl of soup with meat and bean
sprouts as a topping. It is very common to see this dish being sold on the streets and locals having this dish in the morning.
How Pho came to be a
breakfast dish is due to the conception of Pho being like the
American equivalent of oatmeal or cereal. When we said that it is
sold in a lot of places in Vietnam, stalls on the sidewalks may sell
them and locals may park their bikes along the sides before diving
into a warm bowl of Pho.
The dish is normally
served with herbs and of course, the noodles is one of the main
parts. The name of the dish 'Pho' actually refers to the noodles
itself and the dish can be eaten for any meal and is most certainly
not limited to only breakfast.
Pho is a great way to
start the day and for Asians, we've seen a lot of renditions and
different versions of Pho; just called in a different name and
cooked with a different style or topping but essentially the same.
With that, we hope
that everyone has a better idea of what Pho is!! Till the next post
we wish everyone safe travels!!
