![]() It’s finding a stellar bowl that is the annoyingly difficult part (annoying because of the plethora of phở restaurants that I have to muddle through and the inevitable duds along the way). After we moved to California, my mom retired her phở recipe, saying it was too easy to buy a bowl of phở from people who knew how to cook it better than she did.Ĭonsidering the abundance of phở joints around town, finding a decent bowl of phở is relatively easy to do in San Jose. She would spend the whole day cooking, and the house would fill the with delicious aromas that came from the humongous pot which would feed our entire extended family for the day. When I was little, growing up in upstate New York in the 1980s, if my family wanted phở, my mom would have to make it-there were no phở restaurants that we knew of to go to. ![]() I even bought a “What the Phở?” t-shirt a few years ago, which I still wear around the house. Perhaps the most well-known of all Vietnamese cuisine, phở is beginning to appear more and more in mainstream American culture. ![]() ![]() Mention Vietnamese food, and chances are the first thing to pop into people’s minds, is phở. ![]()
