Vietnamese Pho Noodles


The recipe below is a vegetarian dish but shredded chicken can be added if meat is desired. The tofu is a great source of protein so meat isn't absolutely necessary.

It's a mix between a stir-fry and a broth-based soup, with as much or as little liquid being served as desired.
