PHO VIETNAM
When someone listens to Vietnamese foods, the first food that crosses most people’s mind is definitely Pho or Vietnamese rice noodle. Pho, considered to be Vietnam’s national dish or Vietnamese street food, is beloved throughout the country and the world. In the simple forms of it, it consists of fragrant broth poured over the face of fresh rice noodles topped with a handful of green onion, herbs and sliced meat. Moreover, they are also preferred for breakfast. The trickiest part of making this food, though, is to find all the spices and ingredients, if you do not live in Vietnam, could be hard making and you will be unable do without some of the herbs or spices. I think the reason behind the popularity of this dish lies in its tastiness. Besides, it is also easy to make, to enjoy and hard to forget. 32
