The Easiest Simple Breakfast Pho

Pho is the holy grail of feel good food and it holds a special place in my heart. Initially, I’d only indulge in it at restaurants, convinced of its complexity due to its exquisite taste. However, my weekly cravings made dining out costly. If you’re unfamiliar with pho, here’s the condensed version…

What the heck is pho?

Pho, pronounced ‘fuh,’ represents a cherished Vietnamese culinary tradition. This aromatic soup features delicate bahn pho noodles bathed in a savory bone broth. Thinly sliced beef and crisp vegetables such as bean sprouts and herbs accompany this delectable dish. Bahn pho noodles, crafted from rice, align perfectly with our family’s gluten-free lifestyle. While we’ve long savored ramen, a comparable Japanese delight, its wheat-based noodles pose a challenge for gluten-conscious diners. Here’s a victory for the gluten-free community!

It’s a quick and easy knock out, trust me

Alright, buckle up for my pho-nomenal journey! After a few trials and errors, behold my masterpiece! Seriously, can you believe it only took me 30 minutes? It’s like a miracle for busy gals like us. The broth? Oh, it’s so rich and fragrant, I’ve been caught red-handed sipping it straight for breakfast while catching up on the morning news.

So, grab your bowl and chopsticks, this pho is about to rock your taste buds like never before. Get ready to pho-ll in love!
