Pho condiments

[ProudLao]

Aside from the hoisin and sriracha sauce, the jalapeño, basil, beans sprouts, and lime...

what else do you add to your pho?

Chili oil, fried garlic, fried onions, and crushed peanuts for me. Sometimes, fish sauce.

I don’t eat pho, but if I did.....I definitely need hot peppers.

We Hmong have a saying "Ban Nok, Ban Na, eating pho without nam pa."

That is to point to those who aren't used to city life where pho is served. They just eat pho as it is served without adding anything else on the table.

I usually taste my pho first with the original broth. If it needs more, I'll add whatever else I need. If not, I just eat it without adding anything.

I know that term very well. In ban nok, we use what we have and that’s good enough.

I have extra nam pa, want some? Lol

Interning, soy sauce, isn’t that too sweet, especially when you’re adding sugar too?

I only use soy sauce for kao soy, have you had that?

A touch of soy sauce and sugar works for me..Forgot one more, I like to add pickled peppers too:



I've had kao soy before and don't usually add anything to coconut curry type of soup...maybe a touch of salt but that would be it...same goes for kao poon.
