Pho (pronounced fuh, not fouh) is a traditional and iconic Vietnamese noodle soup. The best way to describe it would be a warm, flavorful bowl of rice noodles, aromatic broth, and tasty toppings (that last part is completely up to you!). It’s the ultimate comfort food for those of us who love slurping.
The Origin of Pho
Pho was born in Northern Vietnam in the early 1900s, It was inspired by French pot-au-feu (which is a French dish of slowly boiled meat and vegetables) and local rice noodle traditions. Pho was originally a street food, and it has now turned into a global favorite! Something really cool about pho is that, since it’s international, each region now adds a twist to it. Whether it be simple and savory or bold and herby, pho has so many variations that anyone can enjoy it.
