Ok, I hear everybody in the Ramen thread in HD raving about it. I wanna try the stuff; where do I buy it? How should I prepare it? Supposedly healthy, good tasting...

I've had some Vietnamese quisine before, but mainly stick to Thai. So anyone wanna toss me a recommendation? I live in Seattle, so there shouldn't be a lack of places to buy it from...I hope. :)

Ummm...Ramen is available at pretty much any grocery store and the instructions are on the package. It is pretty easy, boil water, put noodles in and put in pouch of seasoning. I am not sure how healthy it is, but it tastes alright if you don't eat it too often. :)

Sorry...thought you were talking about Ramen! :eek:

Go to any Vietnamese restaurant, big or small, its the popular to the Vietnamese people like how hamburgars/pizzas are to the American people. There are a vast variety of pho though. Its pronounced "phuh" (as in "duh") btw. ;)

Pho really isn't something that is convenient to make at home like ramen. Many thai places serve pho, at least in my area. I usually mix the red chili sauce and the "brown sauce" together in the soup.

he said pho...it was mentioned to him in a ramen thread...he's not asking about ramen...pho is vietnamese dish...

rice noodles in a very tasty broth...usually with thinly sliced beef...which is cooked very medium rare and on the way out from the kitchen to your table the beef is cooked in the broth...tastes very good...

as for entity's question where to get it...i can't help you cause i don't live in the seattle area...look near asian supermarkets though...they usually have their restaurants around there...

EDIT:wow...so many replied while i was typing my reply...i gotta type faster...hehe

I saw a picture, it said dog next to pho. It was a picture from a restaurant in Vietnam, does 'dog' mean something else in Vietnamese?

You can find the noodles at any oriental store. Good luck making the broth though...it takes a while. Its really good with sliced beef that is very rare and dipped in chili and hoison sauce (the brown sauce).

Yup, gotta agree with Doodoo, good stuff, only problem is in some of the Pho restaurants they get really cheap and rip you off with the amount of stuff they give you. You order an X-Large and it turns out to be as much as your friends Small with two times as much soup....grrr :|

hehe :)

I don't know what part of Seattle you're in, but there are a lot of Vietnamese shops along Rainier Avenue (most are concentrated near S. Alaska Way near Genesee Park, if memory serves me correctly), as well as the International District (obviously).

If you're looking for ramen, there's always Uwajimaya. . .

We used to make fun of the name of a Vietnamese Restaurant called "The Pho King".

Great soup though! The hot spices and lemon along with lots of fresh basil served with it would clear my sinuses every time.

this is the best stuff out there. i would eat this on a regular basis if it didn't kill people...the way they make it at restaurants. they use like lard to make he soup...so proceed with caution, altough it is good. i would recommend getting the extra noodles if you are a heavy eater...it normally costs 50 cents for extra noodles here...which is like an extra order!
