Pho ? page 2

I've had Pho with tripe substituted for the noodles. It's not bad, but tripe is an acquired taste (or more so and acquired texture). Can't get more primal than that!

Very true. But you could come close with tendon (also popular in pho).

I found kelp noodles at a local natural grocery store. Those would be awesome in pho.

Yes they are. They also make a killer egg foo yung.

I buy a bag of shredded broccli stems (they market it for brocoli slaw) for my chicken soup. My girls still call it chicken noodle becaust the broccoli strands get translucent and soft. could work for Pho.

Oh wow... I forgot I had done a search, didn't realize how old this was. Oops

I've made pho with kelp noodles, and it's awesome. One of the benefits of using kelp noodles, is that the leftover noodles stay in tact for the next day, unlike rice noodles which fall apart.

Broccoli slaw is very handy! Turns into stir fry into a "noodle" dish. Never tried homemade pho though--I have it infrequently enough I don't mind a dose of gluten-free/sugar-free carb in the standard recipe.

I make it with both kelp, and sweet potato noodles(found at asian markets).
