Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup that is well-known for a strong broth usually made by simmering beef bones, charred ginger and spices. While I’ve cut out the bones for this vegan-friendly version, I’ve left in all the flavor.
Vietnamese dishes are meals typically served with lots of greens and often with hoisin sauce. Make sure you squeeze lime into the soup; It makes a world of difference!
