Pho, I'm addicted

[lee_44106]

I've been eating this stuff nonstop for the past 4 days. Yum, good stuff, very filling.

Dipping the beef in Sriracha and Hoisin sauce

Welcome to Pho Addicts Anonymous, my name is Justin.

Only thing better than a good, home-made pho is bun ga nuong xa with nuoc mam sauce.

Also a big fan of a lot of Indonesian dishes like gado-gado and nasi goreng.

I have never been able to make the broth good enough at home

Do provide a recipe for the homemade pho.

I've used canned pho soups before and they taste like ****.

I asked my mother-in-law to share the family recipe - will report back anything I may legally disclose without fear of family retribution!

yeah, I know those old traditional recipies - it will be something like "make pho, serve in a bowl" people who have been making it all their life forget that other people don't know how to make it.

but thanks

I heard the way to gauge the quality of the pho is to look for the amount of vietnamese that are actually eating at the pho joint? Truth?

No. You'll be surprised at how many Viets frequent ****** pho places, especially out in South Bay.

there are tons of terrible pho places. some of them the soup tastes like what i imagine lukewarm toilet water would taste like i guess.

Here as well... with an ice vietnamese coffee with condensed milk... awesome.

If you want my recipe, PM me. I've sent it to some other people here and they haven't complained yet. It's not mind blowing or anything, but definitely decent. Speaking of which, I think I'll make a pot this weekend.

 

[Hard2Fit]

It is good.

+1. There are plenty of ****** Pho places in the pacific northwest too.

Dark was gracious enough to send his recipe to me. Still haven't had a chance to try it yet but it looks and sounds terrific.

I also picked up this cookbook a while back and I think it's quite good for some vietnamese basics.
