What does Pho taste like? Is it similar to Ramen? And why the broth so clear?
>>21633469>What does Pho taste like? rice.
>>21633469It looks like a strange chicken broth
>>21633469>similar to RamenNo, ramen is more heavily chicken flavored, like chicken bouillon. Complexity is added with kombu, bonito, and soy sauce. All the meat is salted, often marinated. There will be veggies, but not a ton. Noodles will be tender chewy. With regard to salt and flavor, it's very in your face. For pho, it's more heavily beef flavored, though many will still come with chicken. Complexity is added with spices like coriander and star anise. It's also very much less in your face. The meat is almost never seasoned, since it's the broth that's the star that flavors the rest of the ingredients. It also needs to be eaten with a ton of vegetables. The rice noodles are very soft and light. By choice, you can add lime juice, hoisen sauce, and sriracha or chili sauce. This is one of the biggest reasons why it and other viet foods like banh mi are popular: the broth is somewhat refreshing, not light but almost light in a sense, and yet it's still full of flavor, a combination of salty, sweet, spicy, sour, oily, and refreshing.
>>21633469>why the broth so clear?Cause they skim the protein/fat foam scum on top. Ramen is dark cause of soy sauce. The pho gets darker when you add hoisen, but it's the user who adds how much they want when they get the bowl.
>>21633490Oh, also, flavored chicken fat with ramen
>>21633469Salty coins and milk
>>21633469It's not nearly as heavy and rich as ramen. It's a very clean tasting broth that is enhanced by the shit you dump in when you eat it
>>21633469like bags of sand>>21633490is/can pho be served cold, or am I thinking of some other noodle dish?
>>21633490>ramen is more heavily chicken flavoredlolmericansCan't even get real ramen because their overlords fear pork.>>21633469Pho is beef. Ramen is [traditionally] pork. Pho has spices. Ramen has none.Pho has a few different aromatics. Ramen only uses ginger and onion. Pho is clear because of one of two possibilities: 1) pressure cooked. Pressure cooking has much less agitation than simmering so it kicks up far fewer impurities which leads to a clearer broth or2) the bones used are blanched and blanched and blanched then simmered and the scum skimmed and skimmed and skimmed as it forms, yielding a clearer brothIn both cases, the bones are roasted first. Bones for ramen typically are not. Furthermore, if ramen leans into the agitation while still skimming scum, it results in a white, milky broth (tonkotsu). If the agitation is curbed in a manner similar to what's done for pho, the broth is used for other types of ramen, like miso, soy sauce or salt ramen.Neither is particularly better than the other, pho and ramen, and k'tieau is better than both.
A clear Vietnamese stock isn't really like a Chinese stock.I've noticed over the last ten years that Vietnam and Vietnamese food is getting chang'd. But when Saigon fell you couldn't find a spring roll there, the cuisine was originally very different.Pho is a barbeque stock, originally cooked on wood, all the ingredients were barbequed. So the onions, garlic were barbequed, beef and pork bones were barbequed. It's got a bunch of fish sauce in it which is a defining feature. It's served with like an entire plate of dropwart, mint, raw chilli, lime. In Vietnam there's a condiment plate of herbs, rather then salt and pepper. I was there to see Vietnamese food peak. Before the Chinese took over
Eh, if you're gonna get Vietnamese food, get a grilled pork bánh mì.
>>21633490>It also needs to be eaten with a ton of vegetablesNo.
>>21633516>Pho is beef.pha ga exists nigga, ga means chicken, it can be good, especially for breakfast
>>21633800Without the qualifier, it's beef. Like burger. Unless you append turkey, veggie or Impossishitâ„¢ on it, you say burger, people think beef. Likewise, pho without qualifiers is beef. Always.
>>21633469It tastes like exactly you want it. White devils don't know that you're supposed to add lime, soy sauce, chilli paste, fish sauce to your own preference.
>>21633469Like heaven. Pho is typically simmered in beef bones for hours, along with various spices. A good bowl of pho will have a very rich umami flavor and you won’t even need to add sriracha or hoisin sauce because it’s already so flavorful
it taste like beef noodle
>>21633640get both.
>>21633469It tastes like fucking shit. All gook slop is crap
>>21633514>can pho be served coldNo, the broth turns to jelly from the gelatin in the fridge. Needs to be heated up.
>>21633469>What does Pho taste like? It's beef broth with rice noodles, onion, and some slices of beef cuts in there. Depending on your place, it will have green onion, parsley, and cilantro, possibly mint and other herbs. Additionally you will be provided bean sprouts, jalepeno and lime for add in, as well as hosin or sriracha. >Is it similar to Ramen? No. Ramen uses seafood, soy, or pork as the base, and the noodles are wheat with alkali added. Depending on the place, it will have corn, fish cake, bamboo shoot, green onion, garlic, bean sprouts, and of course charsu and marinated eggs. (soft boiled egg + soy/sake soak)>And why the broth so clear?It's just a good beef broth that was clarified using culinary techniques. I believe it is called beef consume for the french version.
It is shittier and less flavorful than ramen. I am sure there a few retarded faggots who will disagree but ramen is objectively way better.
>>21636554found the guy that eats shit
I tried Pho recently. It was kind of bland. Japanese ramen is far superior.
