Pho 101: how to build your perfect bowl.

Pronounced “fuh,” pho is Vietnam’s beloved noodle soup. There’s no wrong way to eat it — but here’s how the regulars do it.

1. Taste the broth first

   Before adding anything, take a sip. That’s hours of simmering talking.

2. Add the garden

   Tear in Thai basil, drop in bean sprouts and jalapeño, and squeeze a wedge of lime.

3. Sauce on the side

   Pour a little hoisin and sriracha into a dish for dipping meat — keeps the broth pure.

4. Chopsticks & spoon

   Chopsticks in one hand for noodles, spoon in the other. Slurping encouraged.
