I'm also thinking vegetarian pho isn't all that prevalent (existent?) in Vietnam, but their interpretation might be worth a try. <BR/><BR/>http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/10463?section=Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816282015902532631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-13300637749878419652009-01-07T10:08:00.000-05:002009-01-07T10:08:00.000-05:00Maggie, no problem making your own as long as you ...Maggie, no problem making your own as long as you have the ingredients.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-73525705625319446252009-01-07T08:24:00.000-05:002009-01-07T08:24:00.000-05:00I so miss Vietnamese food.

It will do in a pinch--if your in that neck of the woods and hankering for pho--but I would not make a special trip. I find the pho there only average, and the atmosphere is beyond plain, even a little sad. Not that I need smiley faces on the wall to eat my pho...Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-81446638949851308242009-01-05T11:51:00.000-05:002009-01-05T11:51:00.000-05:00New Year's Resolution..become a pho aphocianado.

Not to say that one doesn't exist. Typically you see beef, followed by chicken. I think the Vietnamese chefs realized that Americans were a little squeamish about the strange pieces of beef floating around in the soup and that some customers would be more comfortable with the chicken. I supposed you could make a vegetarian broth using the usual spices with lots of daikon radish and onion. Perhaps some mushrooms?<BR/><BR/>Grace, we usually go to Northern Virginia for pho. It's much closer and faster for us. Sadly, there are no pho houses in the District of Columbia that we know of (they like the cheap rent in suburban strip malls), although some Vietnamese restaurants will serve it. We like the informal, no-frills, roadhouse-style atmosphere of the typical pho joint.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-60009066179088733622009-01-02T09:23:00.000-05:002009-01-02T09:23:00.000-05:00if you won't give the name of the restaurant, can ...if you won't give the name of the restaurant, can you give a clue? did you stay in the district, or did you go to VA (lots of vietnamese there) or MD?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390186542748998522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-37700957655612722472009-01-01T17:37:00.000-05:002009-01-01T17:37:00.000-05:00The closest Vietnamese restaurant to us is a 50-mi...The closest Vietnamese restaurant to us is a 50-minute drive... :(<BR/><BR/>I just discovered your blog today, as I searched for pho recipes to serve a vegetarian and her (non-vegetarian) husband and my husband and me (who don't eat red meat).
