Pho

Pho is a traditional Vietnamese soup consisting of broth, rice noodles (bánh phở), herbs, and meat, commonly beef (phở bò) or chicken (phở gà). The dish is known for its aromatic and flavorful broth, which is typically made by simmering bones, spices (such as star anise, cinnamon, and cloves), and sometimes meats for an extended period to develop depth of flavor. Pho is often served with fresh herbs, lime, and chili on the side, allowing diners to customize their soup to their taste. It is a staple of Vietnamese cuisine and is often enjoyed as a breakfast or a comforting meal at any time of day. The dish has gained international popularity and is recognized for its unique flavors and cultural significance.
