Pho is characterized by its aromatic and savory broth, tender meat, and fresh herbs. The interplay of spices, umami from the meat, and refreshing herbs creates a complex and satisfying flavor profile.
The broth is the foundation of Pho, typically simmered for many hours with beef bones (or chicken for Pho Ga), charred onions, ginger, and spices like star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and coriander seeds. Rice noodles (banh pho) provide a delicate texture. Thinly sliced beef (typically tái - rare, or chín - well-done), or shredded chicken, adds richness. Fresh herbs like cilantro, Thai basil, mint, and bean sprouts provide freshness and aromatic complexity. Lime wedges and chili sauce are commonly added to customize the flavor.
