I’m Mexican American and have been eating pho for 40+ years! If made well, It’s one of the BEST nutritious caldo’s in the world not to mention delicious. It’s all about the original bone broth.
I’m Vietnamese and I do like to add the hoison sauce and Siracha to my pho, AND on the side as well. Don’t forget the slices of Jalapeño an a queeze of lime!
I have Vietnamese friends that do the sauce on the little side dish and others that put sauce directly into the soup. I don't think either way is incorrect.
@@brucewayne3892 the sauce on the side is more of a northern thing. My family is from the south and they put it in the broth it does not matter how you eat it b
I'd be too shy to ask something like that😅 Despite having a decent exposure to asian people (mainly chinese and koreans, very few vietnamese) in my childhood I still don't read their facial expressions all that well and try not to disturb them with silly requests. Good thing I like raw soy beans😂
I'd never have the audacity to ask them to do that. That's crazy. That's not how the Vietnamese joints work in my town. I'm sure they would but they're busy. That's not how it goes down.
You dip the meat from the pho into the sauces and then eat it. Let’s you have some sauce on the meat when you want it and not on the meat when you don’t
Put black pepper into the bowl, take one or two spoons of soup first, before stirring to see how good it is and it lets you know how little of fish sauce to add. Yes, no other sauces in the bowl.
I don't like dipping my meat in the sause cause you're just going to taste the sause alone, I like adding it to the pho it brings a great taste to my taste buzz
Some old Viet dude taught me this and I never go back. Get a medium bowl (good for eating rice with the family size). Throw in a lil of the fatty soup from the pho, lemon or lime, and your sauce. The sauce will be thick up my the fat and make the sauce flavor more intense.
I know people can eat their food, however, they want, and it’s not my place to knock on it at all. But thank you so much for not adding the hoisin and Sriracha into the pho 😂 This is a huge pet peeve of mine. I don’t know why perhaps it’s because I love so much just as it is it’s possibly the most perfect bowl of soup in the The world hands down
Nope…my wife’s family from the north and I’m from the south..and we eat pho the same way… The different is just the sauce and the stuff on the table…north doesn’t use sauce, and have less veggies, they also use garlic in their pho as well for that crunch… But putting sauce inside or outside just depend on ppl preference not northern or southern way…
So put the sauces on the side just to leave them there??? Seriously, if you’re gonna instruct how to eat a cultured meal, tell us what to do with the sauces after you plate them. It changes from place to place

It's up there with pizza and tacos as the best shit ever.
I need to know some good pha places in the Bay Area. Most pho’s I had, had plain tasting broth.
I always ask for extra Thai basil and jalapeño slices. It’s so so good! 🤤

In the broth. Disaster child. You out ketchup in you chicken noodle soup too?
From my understanding it's a northern vs southern thing
@@ccxfrank109telling a Vietnamese how to eat their national dish has to be one of the dumbest comments
One of my favourite soups.
Also a magic country to visit

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's incorrect. But having the sauce on the side does allow you to better taste and appreciate the broth.

Always ask them to steam/cook the bean sprouts first, it doesnt really cook that well in the broth. I dont like the taste of raw bean sprouts.

When/how do you use the sauces?
You dip the meat from the pho into the sauces and then eat it. Let’s you have some sauce on the meat when you want it and not on the meat when you don’t
Slide a chopstick through the sauces and slap it on your meat while it's on your spoon
Hey you my favorite chef btw

The greatest hangover dish of Allllll time.

I loooovvvvvvvveeeeee❤❤❤❤❤❤❤phoooooooooooooooo🍜🍜🍲🍲
It makes me.happy to put the sauce in plus chili oil
I’m Vietnamese and my whole family puts sauce in the bowl and on the side
Been adding fish sauce, siracha, hoisin, and chili oil in my broth all my life. Don't care what peeps say.

Vietnamese people eat it both ways. It doesn't matter.
Lol Idc what ive been eating wrong I want it my own way!
If you have to add the sauce you know you haven't visited the legit incredible pho places that I had. The broth was so good it should be as is.
Wrong lol. Southern Vietnamese people like their pho sweeter than northern style pho.
“It’s ok to slurp” damn right!
I LOVE pho😊
Man I love pho 🍜
Real Asian slurps the noodles first then pick up the whole bowl and drink the soup after. It’s the only way.
Actually there is a difference between the pho eating ways of southern and northern Vietnam
Nope…my wife’s family from the north and I’m from the south..and we eat pho the same way…
The different is just the sauce and the stuff on the table…north doesn’t use sauce, and have less veggies, they also use garlic in their pho as well for that crunch…
But putting sauce inside or outside just depend on ppl preference not northern or southern way…
@@PhoucMai thì cx là khác biệt mà bạn =))
This is almost exactly how I eat my Pho it’s super good (What’s my last name)
You talk Vietnamese, same
😋 🍲
Pho-ck around and pho-ind out.

Everyone north of Saigon just went HUH?.
Genius of you to use that plastic spoon 💡
"old school pros"
Its just food bro
Hi jett lol
No right or wrong way to eat it…
Sambal > Sriracha
Order it with the meat on the side
