Let’s welcome a famous dish from Vietnam! Pho is a distinctive type of noodle soup. Most of the time, this dish is considered the symbol of Vietnamese cuisine.

Because of its popularity, you can easily find its presence in many Asian restaurants’ menus. Still, it’s not impossible to make this one yourself at home.

To keep the beef tender, do not cook it in advance. You should only soak the slices of beef into the boiling broth for a few seconds. The meat can quickly be cooked.

Now, everything is ready to serve. Put the boiled rice noodles into a bowl with slices of beef above. Pour the broth onto them.

Enjoy it with some sprouts, basil, and cilantro. And feel free to make a slurp!

The next thing to deal with is the omelet. Firstly, whisk the egg with milk and then pour the mixture into a pan. Next, place the rice on one side of the omelet. Gently fold both sides of the omelet into the middle to coat the rice.
