One of my new favorite go-to dinners is the Vietnamese Noodle Soup, Pho! There are 4 basic food categories that make up this dish: a rich, aromatic broth, a thinly sliced meat, a variety of vegetables and garnishes, and rice noodles. Other than those guidelines, you can feel free to take as much creative freedom as wanted!
