VEGETARIAN PHO (VIETNAMESE NOODLE SOUP)



Vegetarian Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup) image

From Sally Bernstien's article on Vietnamese food in the Vegetarian Journal[March/April 2000]. "I'm pleased to report that experiencing a vegetarian Vietnam is possible. Armed with a tourist phrasebook, a healthy appreciation of local markets, and a willingness to be considered highly eccentric by the Viet-namese, I enjoyed such delicacies as a vegetarian version of pho, the fabled Vietnamese noodle and meat soup..."
