🍜 Pho Bo (Beef Noodle Soup)

Jael from Ho Chi Minh City · CC BY-SA 2.0

The soul of Hanoi cuisine — a crystal-clear bone broth, soft rice noodles, and thinly sliced beef.

Pho emerged in the early 20th century around Hanoi and Nam Dinh, carried into every street by roaming vendors. A great bowl lives in its broth: beef bones simmered for hours with charred ginger, roasted shallots, cinnamon and star anise — clear yet deeply savory.

Flavour: Clean, sweet with bone stock, fragrant with warm spices
