Gujarat is one of the fastest growing states in India. Following short film was presented on Pravasi Bharatiya Divas - 2009. I am proud Gujarati.
I made the Vietnamese very well known dish called Pho, which is a sort of noodle soup, and it turned out pretty nice. Better than I thought. BTW this post might be repetitive for many following me on Facebook [FB] as I have uploaded the pictures there but wanted to give out my recipe to you so you can make it at home as well and enjoy different cuisine.
So it was a long weekend and at my place I try to show off my culinary skills during holidays. Also, I try my best to cook every Sunday morning but for the reason or the other it doesn’t happen… Anyways, coming back to the point, it is President’s Day long weekend. I decided to make Spaghetti on Saturday, February 13, 2010 and it turned out awesome. First time in my cooking I have used red wine and I was excited. I was not planning to use it but then I thought, what the heck, so I did use it and was happy that I made the right decision. Everyone liked it at home and that was the beginning of my inner evil cook to invite me to prepare something new. I was craving Pho for couple of days and tried to see if I can get any Vegetarian Pho, but that was not possible because all the restaurants I knew, were, using chicken broth and not the vegetable broth. So I decided to create my own version of Vegetarian Pho (Noodle Soup).
There are many variations available but I followed the following and I guess it was the closest match I could have got in first shot. It was almost 80% plus match with the originals I have had before. It is very simple and fast to cook. It took me hour and half to shop for groceries and less than hour to cook (the way I wanted to test).
Recipe:
Vegetarian Pho, thanks to Vegetarian Times. I followed the basics from Vegetarian Times but added some of my own variations to it while preparing it.
According to Vegetarian Times recipe, Nutritional Information, for Pho is as follows:

Pretty healthy stuff (I am not a nutritionist but I am sure many things are low enough to eat it every other week) and last but not the least, some photos of my culinary creation! ;-)
Hope you have enjoyed reading and good luck with making one to reveal your inner culinary art.
Enjoy!
