Good vegetarian pho?

[bh87]

I've tried the cubes in the past and they are actually pretty good, I've also bought and used this "spice packet" in beef broth (could use veggie broth instead) with a whole onion and piece of ginger that I "charred" on the bbq first:

Sorry I believe the one I tried before is the Campbell's one not the PC one... Either way, the authentic viet pho cubes are the best I had. Or I should say closest to the real thing.

Thanks I'll have to try those...

Went to Tamarind on the weekend, the pho was a bit disappointing, had the satay one and it tasted nothing like the real thing, not even close, it was good though, but not even close....

Good to know! Goes to show, not to believe all the internet reviews/hype. I've tried to eat at this place on 3 occasions and they were always full because the place was tiny and one time their credit/debit machine was broken. Completely gave up on the place, now I won't even bother.

I saw that Campbell's now has a pho broth too. Wow.
Someone ballsy enough to try it?

I've tried it and it's terrible. :rolf:

I was actually looking for the Viet pho broth thingy. I thought it was in liquid form. That photo helps, now i know what to look for.

Does the Campbells Pho broth actually have any beef in it? I could not tell from the ingredients list.

It does not have any beef in it - or as much beef as ramen packets do which is zero.

Ingredients: WATER, SUGAR, DEXTROSE, PHO FLAVOUR (WATER, NATURAL FLAVOUR, YEAST EXTRACT, SALT, VEGETABLE JUICE [ONION, MUSHROOM, LEEK], ASCORBIC ACID, SPICE EXTRACTS [CLOVE, STAR ANISE, GINGER, CINNAMON], ONION OIL), SALT.

doesn't look like it, but I'd be concerned what "natural flavour" means.

edit: "suitable for vegetarians". I would think that it has some beef byproduct so not suitable for vegans.
