Pho (fuh) is a national Vietnamese dish eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  It is served in a big bowl with white flat thin rice noodles in beef , chicken, or seafood broth, with thin cuts of beef (eye round,  flank, brisket, etc.), chicken, or seafood.  Although tempting, please do not dive into your bowl of pho immediately after it is placed in front of you. A little patience and preparation will greatly enhance your pho experience. Here are some tips collected from throughout the years from our patrons.

Step One: Spice up  your broth
Lift your spoon and sample the steamy broth. Be careful…it’s hot.  If the broth is a little bland, add a dash of fish sauce. Not too much though, you can add more later. Next, add a sprinkle of black pepper and squeeze an entire wedge of lime into your bowl.  Add a little hoison sauce for sweetness.  For those who like it spicy, a couple squirts of sriracha hot sauce will do the trick.

Step Two: Add the vegetation (herbs and sprouts)
Add about a handful of beansprouts to your pho. Use your chop-sticks to toss the noodles and the meat together.  Make sure to submerge any pieces of rare beef that are still pink as well. Next, add a couple of leaves of Thai Basil to your bowl after removing them from the stems.  Add the culantro (saw herb), tear 2-3 of them into one inch long pieces and place them in the pho as well. Add the jalapeno slices if you enjoy your pho spicy.  

Step Three: Prepare the dipping dish
Squeeze some hoisin sauce and siracha chili into a small saucer. A 50/50 split is recommended, but use less siracha if you can’t handle spicy foods. Mix the two sauces together  using the tip of your chopsticks. Taste and perfect your creation. Use this sauce to dip the meats in before eating with your noodles.

Step Four: Time to slurp
Get ready to enjoy your pho! Pair pieces of beef with Thai basil, saw herb or a slice of serrano chili - dip into the hoisin sauce / siracha chili mixture you made in Step Three. Don't forget to sip the broth in between bites of noodles and beef.

Remember all the above are just recommendations ….you can eat your pho any way you like!!!!Enjoy!!!
