Wandering Adventure Party

Oh, I had no idea about the central version! My family is from the south so lemongrass sounded really wrong to me, like bun bo hue territory lol. I’m going to Vietnam in a few months actually — will be fun to explore more of the country and try all the regional dishes and variations.

I’m sure it tasted great! Plus it’s always awesome when people cook your cuisine:) The spices and aromatics look good, it gets the core flavor down. It doesn’t hurt to throw in a couple extra cinnamon sticks and star anise. Also add cardamom. I also like adding bean sprouts myself

For Asian recipes in general, I usually look up youtube videos. Bonus points if it’s not in English (but hopefully translations provided). You get very authentic recipes that way, instead of recipe articles where you don’t know who heck wrote it lol

Well I wasn’t gonna say anything So right off the bat I’m seeing bell peppers(?), garlic, and lemongrass which do not go in pho. Don’t use cooking wine/sake - if it’s for acidity, using lime is typical. Rice noodles instead of glass. Needs herbs like basil and cilantro. Also this is nitpicky, but gà literally means “chicken.”
But you know, OP gets away with it because they said “inspired” and made with ingredients they had

I mean at this point I’ve already accepted that it’s not Reddit 2.0. That’s not the reason I’m still here lol. I’m here because it’s nice to believe in something, to help build and be a part of something.
