Pho Beef & Beef Ball

Pho (pronounced "fuh") is a popular Vietnamese soup dish that can be found in restaurants across the United States. The soup is known for its rich and aromatic broth, which is typically made by simmering beef bones, spices, and herbs for several hours.

One popular variation of pho is pho bo, which features thin slices of beef in the soup. Another variation is pho bo vien, which includes beef balls in addition to the sliced beef. Both of these options are commonly found on the menus of Vietnamese restaurants in the United States.

In pho bo, the slices of beef are usually rare and are cooked to your desired level of doneness in the hot broth as the soup is served. The beef balls in pho bo vien are typically made from a combination of ground beef and seasonings, and are cooked in the broth before being added to the soup.

Pho is typically served with a plate of fresh herbs, such as basil, mint, and cilantro, as well as bean sprouts, lime wedges, and sliced chili peppers. These ingredients can be added to the soup to customize the flavor and heat level to your liking. Pho is often enjoyed with a side of hoisin sauce or sriracha for added flavor.
