Pho!

The lemongrass broth I made last night was so freaking good that I decided to make pho with it.  Now I've never had authentic Vietnamese pho, but I'm seen enough pho porn and read enough recipes to give it a whirl.


I used thin rice noodles because that's what I had on hand.  Toppings included shredded basil, cilantro, lime wedges, green onions, mung bean sprouts, and chiles.  No additional chiles were needed, though!  I put about 5 tabasco chiles into the broth, so it had some serious kick!

Even Mike, notorious soup hater that he is, ate two bowls of this stuff.  Good thing I like it since I have about a gallon of broth!
