Vietnamese rice noodle, usually eaten with Sriricha hot sause and Hoisin
sauce. The broth is usually homemade, by boiling chicken stock in
water. The meat which can be found in pho can be virtually anything: pork,
beef, tripe, chicken, barbeque... When served with
beef, the beef is usually left raw, for the broth will cook it while in the bowl.
At restaurants, it is only served in three sizes:
Small = Large
Medium = Supersize
Large = Bathtub
Long story short, best damn food ever. If you ever try to eat a bowl of pho, try not to burn yourself, and eat it fast.
The first time I tried a
medium, I puked.
The
noodle expands while in the broth, so you have to finish it off pretty quick.
The 'o' in pho is pronounced like the 'u' in
ugly, while asking a question: what the pho?
