After the longest hottest summer we can remember. It has been great to prop open the door on 4th street and cook something slow and yummy. We have been wanting to try our hand at Pho, the wonderful Vietnamese beef noodle soup. Stephanie spent an evening making the broth out of oxtails, chuck roast, beautiful dried and fresh spices and of course fish sauce! The next night we had a couple of friends over to sample
Stephanie boils water for the rice sticks
Pretty bowls and fresh herbs
Nam Hai was out of Thai Basil
So we used sweet basil, mint, cilantro and bean sprouts
Some jalepenos, limes, rooster and hoisen sauce
Once our guests arrived and the broth was simmering, the bowls were prepared
