Vietnam’s iconic pho is not just a meal—it’s an experience. This soul-soothing noodle soup begins with a fragrant, slow-simmered broth that’s perfectly balanced with tender slices of beef or chicken. Each steaming bowl is topped with rice noodles, a sprinkle of green onions, and an array of fresh herbs like cilantro, Thai basil, and mint. In Hanoi, the birthplace of pho, street vendors expertly craft this dish while the aroma fills the air. Add a squeeze of lime and a dollop of chili paste for an explosion of flavor. Don’t forget to pair your pho with crispy spring rolls or a fresh Vietnamese iced coffee. Whether in a cozy street-side stall or a bustling market, a bowl of pho is a must-have cultural delight.
