Phở bò? Here we go! I like the picture on the lid – looks very inviting and fresh and tasty. We shall see how it tastes! Join me won’t you? WON’T YOU?
The lovely fresh paradise on the lid is represented in reality by two packets – one seasoned oil and a dry packet with powder a rehydratables.
Was surprised there was no ‘just veggies’ packet…
Bam. Two fried eggs. Bam. A little Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Magic Vegetarian seasoning on them. Noodles? Primo excellente – nice and broad rice noodles, although nothing like you’d find at a local greasy phở joint. Broth was nice and lively too – hints of basil were there ancd had a nice beef broth flavor. The veggies were slim – a little carrot and onion. I liked it fine, but it could use a little work. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. Find it here.

i think when eating the instant noodles like Pho, you should do the comparison as to how closely it comes to the flavor of the soup you can get at Pho restaurants. Have you have real Pho before? then you would know that they dont put veggies such as carrots in it. its a broth with spices like star anise, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, and herbs like thai basil cilantro, green onion, and sometimes culantro. the broad noodles are off because pho noodles are supposed to be skinny. would you say that if you had to add extra seasoning on your own that you didnt like the original seasoning at all? kinda like what people do with stuff that they dont like, douse it with cheese or with hotsauce.
Oh yes I’ve had Pho before – I’m in the northwest where we have a lot of little Pho joints up and down the I-5 corridor. Nothing like the real thing – the packaged instant versions sometime smell like it but really don’t do it justice.
Hey what’s culantro?
