In Vietnam, besides rice, pho and noodle soups are eaten daily. The most common noodles are rice noodles, with **Pho** being the most famous and iconic dish.

The name “pho” refers to the type of noodle used. Pho is served with a broth made from beef or chicken. Northern **Pho** has a clear broth, served with lime and chili, while the Southern version has a thicker, cloudier broth and is accompanied by fresh herbs like basil and bean sprouts. The key to a good bowl of pho lies in its broth, simmered for hours with spices like star anise, cloves, and cinnamon, creating a rich, natural flavor.
