Vegetarian Pho!

So awhile back (about six years ago, or so) I found an absolutely AMAZING recipe for Pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup), while scouring the Internet. Ever since then, it has become a staple of mine, and a go-to for cold, rainy days. It is packed with an incredible amount of flavor, and although it doesn't really taste like beef, you will find yourself going back for seconds, I guarantee it.



                                                  
                             My amateur-ish rendition of this wonderful recipe (This is the broth)


The recipe is divided into two parts- making the broth, and making the pho.

My preferred toppings are spinach and/or bok choy, bean sprouts, rice noodles, pan-fried mushrooms, pan-fried seitan chunks, salted peanuts (roasted), and so forth...

Serve it with lemon slices, jalapeno rounds, mint (to taste), and Thai/Vietnamese basil (if available). Some people like it with cilantro, but personally, I find the flavor overpowering.



Here is a link to the INSANELY AWESOME blog that referred me to this recipe: http://www.vegblog.org/archive/2002/04/14/vegetarian-pho/
