Vietnamese Pho is a traditional noodle soup that originated in the early 20th century in northern Vietnam. It's a flavorful blend of broth, rice noodles, herbs, and meat, usually beef or chicken. Pho gained popularity during the French colonial period and has since become a beloved dish worldwide. The best Pho can be found in Hanoi, where it's said to have originated. However, it's also widely enjoyed in Saigon and across Vietnam. The key to a great Pho lies in the broth, which should be rich and aromatic, and the fresh herbs and condiments that accompany it. Chefs often spend years perfecting their Pho recipes, and it's a staple dish in Vietnamese restaurants globally.
