Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup (Pho)
|
Origin of Pho: Pho is said to have appeared in the
early 20th century. There are many theories about the deep origin of Pho and
one thing is for sure that Pho originated in the North of Vietnam. This dish
then entered the central and southern regions in the mid-1950s. |
Beef
noodle soup is a familiar and close dish to Vietnamese people. This dish is
stewed from beef bones with spices such as cinnamon, anise, cardamom... Cold
beef will be marinated with ginger to make the dish more balanced. To cook
beef noodle is not difficult, but to cook deliciously and properly, that is
the secret of each restaurant. The combination of Pho, meat, vegetables and sauce makes the dish rich and irresistible.
Pho is associated with the soul of every Vietnamese person and is also a dish
that many international tourists want to experience. The noodles and usage
are unlike any other noodles in the world and that creates a certain position
in the list of world cuisine. |
The
attraction and popularity of Pho has been recognized by the international
community and Pho became a word included in the Shorter Oxford English
dictionary published on 9/20/2007 in the UK and the US. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pho
- :~:text=noun ˈfə ˈfō %3A a soup made of,preserved the
pronunciation as "fuh," rather than "foh." Vietnamese people around the world can proudly introduce
this dish to international friends. |
Not
only do I introduce Pho as a typical dish of Vietnamese people, but I also
convey to tourists about the quintessence of Vietnamese culture and people.
Pho is now present in over 50 countries and different territories. Many
tourists have come to Vietnam and have the opportunity to try this dish,
including former US president Bill Clinton. For more than 15 years with the
land where I was born and raised, I believe that Pho always has a culinary
value that many Vietnamese people want to stick with. It is a mark and memory
of Vietnam for those living far from their homeland. I believe that if
tourists can eat delicious bowls of pho, they will bring back good memories
of Vietnamese cuisine. I would like to recommend Vietnamese restaurants in Sacramento that you can visit to enjoy this
dish. |
