Pho, Vietnam’s national dish, has a fascinating history that reflects the country’s cultural fusion. Originating in the early 20th century in northern Vietnam, pho was influenced by French colonialism (think pot-au-feu) and Chinese noodle soups.
The magic of Pho is that while the broth looks completely unassuming, probably boring even. However, it’s actually full of complex, yet delicately spiced infusion flavors. That extra special something-something that makes it unforgettable, and you won’t be able to stop eating it.
