Slurp on slippery rice noodles with a beautiful spiced up beef or chicken broth with Pho, Vietnam’s national dish.

Aromatic from star anise, cinnamon, sweet onions, the beefy broth is just as good as the chicken broth. Generous slices of tender beef or soft poached chicken slices added much deliciousness to the pho. The topping of fresh herbs and aromatics with some chili and a squeeze of lime juice completed this comfort bowl of noodle.
