Vietnamese Noodle Soup (Pho), a traditional Vietnamese dish, is considered one of the most iconic dishes in Vietnamese cuisine. Hanoi Pho is the most famous, and it's often seen as the soul of Hanoi's culinary culture.

The main ingredients of pho are rice noodles and broth with either beef or thinly sliced chicken. The broth is made from simmered bones, creating a rich and savory flavor. Additional flavors come from various herbs and spices such as scallions, onions, cilantro, pepper, lime, fish sauce, and chili.

While the ingredients for pho are relatively simple and readily available, creating a truly exceptional bowl of pho is an art. The chef must master each step of the process and infuse their dish with passion and a sense of national pride.
