My buddy's wife is from Vietnam. Her brothers say Pho at almost every restaurant is terrible compared to authenticate Pho made from the real stuff at home. Is this true?
I can some what understand. At their house it was like heaven, the best I've ever had.
That next week I went to a Vietnamese restaurant and it was rice noodles water and some bean sprouts....yuk!
When i served in Vietnam in 1966-1967 all I ate was C-Rations. About 20 years ago i had my first bowl of Pho and fresh spring rolls in a little Vietnamese restaurant. I now make it at home with basil and cilantro from our garden. I buy the other ingredients from a great little Asian store in Asheville.
I'm lucky because I'm surrounded by Pho places, there's three Pho places within a mile of my school.
Super lucky! All we have is fusion places here unless I go to Albany.no food is worth it lol.ima country boy.any food here that i dont have to grow is half hour at least from my property. .its good and bad .
Lately I've been using the ramen type packages i get at our Asian grocery to start my Pho. The packages have rice noodles and my favorite bean thread noodles. Put some water in a pot, add some veggies, the flavor packets, some meat, some basil and the noodles. Three minutes later you got Pho. Float some hot sesame oil on top and dig in.
