Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Vegan Pho
- For a richer broth, consider adding a vegetable bouillon cube or a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for added umami flavor.
- Don't overcook the noodles! Slightly firm noodles are ideal for this recipe; they hold their texture better in the broth.
- Feel free to experiment with other vegetables. Shiitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, and baby spinach are all delicious additions.
- To make this pho ahead of time, prepare the broth and noodles separately. Reheat the broth gently and combine just before serving to maintain the best texture and flavor.
