What Is Pho?
What Is Pho Made Of?
A bowl of Pho generally consists of three important components:
- Broth: The broth provides the main flavour of the dish and is typically infused with aromatic ingredients and spices.
- Rice Noodles: Pho traditionally uses flat rice noodles, which have a softer and lighter texture than wheat-based ramen noodles.
- Fresh Herbs and Accompaniments: Fresh herbs and other accompaniments add freshness, aroma and contrast to the warm broth.
