How to Eat Pho Like a Pro

  1. Taste the broth first: Before adding any sauces, sip the broth to appreciate the 12-hour simmering process.
  2. Dress the bowl: Tear the Thai basil leaves into smaller pieces to release their essential oils. Squeeze in a lime wedge, and add a few jalapeño slices if you like heat.
  3. Manage your sauces: Instead of squeezing Hoisin and Sriracha directly into the soup (which masks the complex broth), squeeze a 50/50 mix of the sauces into a small dipping saucer. Dip your meat into the sauce before eating.
