Thang Long Pho works for me, haven't been there in a while.

Try Pho King.  It's excellent.  

The result of Pho King is often unicum...

Pho (pronounced "phir" in English) is influenced by the Chinese and French cuisines, and was believed to have originally derived from a French soup, "pot au feu",(pot on fire) which Wikipedia defines as a French beef stew. This is usually a mixture of cuts of beef, vegetable, and spice.

I love this dish on a cold winter day.

Here's the basic ingredients.



And to the bowl...

That's it! Don't have time today but tomorrow- oh tomorrow. And I'll drive the extra miles to Pho Cong Ly. We do the basil-cilantro-bean sprout here but mint sounds nice. I might have even had it though my memory escapes me.

And a half order of fried spring-rolls.

Here's an example off the web. I actually judge a Vietnamese place by how they handle and prepare their spring-rolls not their pho. If they get that wrong (many do incidentally) odds are their pho is substandard too.

Phir?  Always sounded like "fuh" to me.

Phir?  Always sounded like "fuh" to me.

I used to work with a Vietnamese woman.  She definitely pronounced it "fuh".  How is "phir" different from "fur" anyway?

Ghanna for lunch today.

Groundnut stew with a chicken thigh and egg. Served with a fu fu of cassava root and cornmeal.



I was looking all over for ground nut paste, couldnt find it. Finally went to a Senegalese store in West Philly. Walked in and the guy looked at me like I was crazy, I almost asked, what? Then he looked at me like I was even crazier when I asked him for some ground nut paste. He chuckled and went to the shelf to get a jar of peanut butter.   Yep, Africans call peanuts groundnuts. Makes sense I guess.

Anyway, nice creamy spicey sauce, goes well with the fu fu. If you ever try to make this stew use real peanut butter , not skippy or something like that. I get the fresh ground stuff from Trader Joes.

If you made Pho with barbecued beef, would you call it Pho Que?

I don't know...but if I went to a vietnemese restaurant and asked for some Pho Que
they would probably look at me funny...and give me the finger.

Ramen Noodles is a noodle soup that was originally imported to Japan from China in the Meiji Period. The Japanese adopted this dish in the 19th century and started calling it as Ramen. Ramen is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese (la mian), which mean hand-pulled noodles.

After World War II, cheap flour imported from the U.S. swept the Japanese market and an intense food shortage in Japan, Ramen was became a popular food after World War II in Japan. Eventually, Ramen was voted the country’s national dish.



Have you ever had Shoyu Ramen-Shoyu Ramen is noodles in soy sauce flavored soup. Shoyu Ramen has typically a brown and clear color broth, based on a chicken/vegetable/fish/beef stock with plenty of soy sauce.
