Pho is Life, PhoRealz!
Today was a good day. Even though life at the moment is a bit stressful and cold nothing could be better than having a hot bowl of pho. Pho is a Vietnamese rice noodle soup. Pho is served with beef broth that's poured over the rice noodle soup. The soup contains beef, pork, tendons, tripe, any other meat that suits your liking although these are the traditional meat in pho. Pho is served with many herbs as well, herbs such as, mint, basil, onions, and cilantro. The bowl of soup is also served with many sauces and spices that adds extra flavor to the soup. Such sauces and spices like hoisin sauce, fish sauce, sriracha, lime, and chili peppers.
Pho by far has got to be one of my favorite type of soup. It's a type of soup that's very fulfilling and really hit the spot especially in this cool weather. With the proper ingredients and right amount of toppings to the bowl of pho, there's no questioning at how bad my day must've been it would brighten up as soon as the first sip of the soup. The richness and hot soup of pho is the only thing I look forward to when I'm feeling cold or depressed. Pho is pretty much all I crave for during the cold winter or cold days in general.
I like my bowl of pho hot and spicy. I also like my bowl of pho with lots of herbs with a little lime juice over it. Then again I can't forget about the hoisin sauce and sriracha in which the hoisin sauce adds sweetness to the soup and the sriracha sauce which makes the soup spicy. The herbs however is what's most noticeable in my soup when it comes to my bowl of pho. I make my pho much different than the traditional plain pho by adding more spices to enrich the flavor of the soup.
