How to enjoy

I its the first time you try Pho, here are some tips or you:

First, orks are not good riends o Pho.Like other Asian ood, eating Pho is a prac-tical eating technique that Asians have mas-tered. Hold your chopsticks in your domi-nant hand and your soup spoon in the other.For those with minimal chopstick skills, thespoon also acts as a backup allowing you tocatch those slippery noodles that may escape.

Second, dont be shy with the condiments (sauces).On the table you may find hoisin sauce, (a sweet darksauce made o soy beans), Sriracha (a spicy hot sauceo red chillies) and Vietnamese fish sauce. Tose areused to put directly to the bowl o noodle soup. Many

oreigners are not acquainted to those kinds o sauces,and the first experience might be terriying! However,the more you get to know it, the more you love it; asthose condiments are part o a complete bowl o Pho.

Third, use your garnishes. A plate ull o garnish-es is normally the first thing to arrive at your table afer you order a bowl o

pho. I the condiments refine the flavor o the soup, then lime wedges, reshherbs and bean sprouts heighten the fla-vor and aroma o the overall dish. Tey cancreate contrast in texture and balance therich, savory flavor o the meat-based broth.

Finally, its up to you to adjust the condimentsand herbs. Every customer can be a che evenwhen the noodle soup is served! Tose experi-ments are harmless unless you ask or a secondbowl in a row. Tats when your stomach explodes!
