Step-by-step directions for how to make the best spoonful of pho-goodness - the Pho-mint method!
materials: 1 spoon, 1 pair of chopsticks, plate of mint (you will have to ask for this), 1 bowl of hot pho, 1 plate of raw meat, 1 plate of white onions, 1 plate of bean sprouts, optional - siracha sauce
preparation: order extra plate of mint and white onions, be sure to ask for your meat raw and on a separate plate, place all extra onions and bean sprouts into your soup
1.) ask for raw meat
2.) place all the raw meat in soup for 1 min -submerge it - don’t over cook it! A quality pho restaurant will serve the pho really hot so the meat should cook really fast
3.) take out all cooked meat and place it in a NEW plate - don’t place it on the bloody raw meat plate
4.) take your spoon and place raw meat on spoon
5.) add a big piece of mint, you may need 2 pieces if your mint is small
6.) go into your bowl and add 2 pieces of white onion onto your spoon
7.) add a few pieces of bean sprout
8.) optional - add a dollop of siracha sauce onto the tip of the spoon (some people don’t like to add siracha into the whole bowl because the siracha will overwhelm the entire pho bowl)
9:) dip your spoon into your hot bowl of pho

are you really hardcore? real pho lovers like it raw
The real pho lover always orders the meat fresh and raw to cook in the soup.
not only does this ensure that you are getting the freshest meat, this only guarantees the most delicious soft meat pho experience.
If you are really anal like me I will only put in half of my meat in the beginning, and half later I will ask for a bowl of hot broth and then add the rest of my meat. That way all my meat is evenly cooked right when I am ready do eat it! Phoreals.
