My new Love affair with Pho

(1/7) > >>

1vertical:
Damn we have this little restaurant and I cannot get enuff
of the Pho Ga....The man has taken a shine to us and is willing
to help me make some.  I looked on the www and found many
recipies (Euge says good pho a closely guarded secret) but none
seem to match what the proprietor says he makes his from.

Now to find some huge beef marrow bones and vietnamese cinnamon
thinking I am goin to sub some amber belgian candy for "rock sugar"
....ahhhhh
my new comfort food!

Pho is kinda like angel food cake. It's basically like 5 ingredients, the trick is how you make it. I talked to one Vietnamese lady who said she used 13 ingredients, but said 8 were secret.

I have heard that the yellow rock sugar they use is pretty important. I don't think the belgian candy sugar will give the same flavor.

I know I live in Southern California and I know that here menudo is supposed to be the king high of hangover foods. (Personally I prefer machaca con huevos.)

But damned if pho doesn't beat the pants off menudo for curing you of everything wrong. Personally, I tend to go for the #1 pho, which seems to be in every restaurant the pho that contains all the weird s*** you don't want to know about!
