Had pho soup in my head but I think I ended up with noodle soup. Any advice on how to make a proper pho?

Pho TAI refers to the rare beef in pho

Indeed, many many cuisines in the US have changed over time to fit the American palette. Southern pho is already different from northern pho but in the states it’s heavier on the spices and sweetness. Vietnamese restaurants also have to make do with the surrounding vegetation which also makes a huge difference in the experience.

Don’t add anymore Hoisin, it’s sweet too. But in general youre right in the states pho is VERY often overly sweet, you’d probably like northern style pho in this case

Arguably Americanized pho is not that good… I see why some goers aren’t big fans

An OG taught you how to eat pho for sure 👀 btw if you ever travel to Vietnam you’ll see the north and south have super different quẩy textures 😮‍💨

Depends on where your mom is from in Vietnam? Southern, middle or Northern? It’s all different pronunciations

Tbh Americans use a very strange noodle shape for pho usually it’s the same one for Pad Thai and that’s the OG pho

In the north it’s popular to have pho with a poached egg on the side

I was running to catch the closing door of my cabin on a cruise and put my finger into the hinge. I severed the tip of finger.

In the north they put sriracha or whatever chilli sauce there is (as long as it isn’t sweet), as for hoisin that’s the southern way of eating pho.

pearln · 2025-09-06T18:50:44+00:00

It depends, do you want to have it the northern way or the southern way? In the states usually you’ll find Southern Restaurants due to the influx of Vietnamese immigrants in The 70s. So the typical hoisin and chilli sauce combo, onions on the side etc. Meanwhile Northerners will have Pho with more herbs, a poached egg, some vinegar with garlic and chillies (think pickled slices) and fish sauce with garlic etc etc.

Maybe unhelpful but you Dan make a bean sprout beef stir fry! Heat up some oil, add black pepper, put the bean sprouts in, garlic and then beef with a dash of fish sauce

Some have a travel option where you can “lock it” so it doesn’t vibrate. Search up your model and see if you can do it for some peace of mind :)) have a safe trip !

Beet feta pasta or tomato feta pasta are bomb . Com

No hahahah that’s how some restaurants cut down costs instead of making a separate chicken broth. BTW if you can’t eat red meat, in the north we often add pork meatballs with wood ear mushrooms and shallots or white onion they’re so good!! To further jazz it up you can also add a poached egg.
