Pork pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup made with rice noodles in a clear, gently spiced broth. The stock is simmered with aromatics such as onion, ginger and warming spices. It is served with fresh herbs, beansprouts, lime and chilli on the side, so you can adjust the flavour to suit your taste. Light yet satisfying, it is a simple, flavourful option for lunch or dinner.
