Exploring the Roots: The History of Pho

Pho is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup consisting of broth, rice noodles, herbs, and meat (typically beef or chicken). Its origins can be traced back to the early 20th century in northern Vietnam, particularly in Hanoi. Pho gained popularity throughout Vietnam and eventually spread to other parts of the world due to Vietnamese diaspora.

From Vietnam to the World: The Evolution of Pho

The exact origins of pho are debated, but it is believed to have evolved from a combination of Vietnamese, Chinese, and French culinary influences. The word “pho” itself may have originated from the French word “feu” (fire) or “pot-au-feu,” a French beef stew. Over time, pho became a beloved dish in Vietnamese cuisine, enjoyed by people of all backgrounds.
