Dinner for 2
Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Nuoc Cham
Pho Bo (Beef and Noodle Soup)
Went for Vietnamese this week. Only myself and my Husband tonight so I kept it simple. A starter and main course no dessert or extras. Shared some Spring Rolls with our son.
Like any spring roll these ones take some time to make but I am getting pretty good at rolling and folding items of this type and can do it in a timely manner. The sauce that went with the spring rolls was very tasty. I love homemade dipping sauces, they always have a crisper, fresher taste profile. I did find my spring rolls didn't come out as crisp as I would have liked. Perhaps my oil wasn't hot enough.
I have never had Pho so I am not exactly sure how it is suppose to taste authentically. The recipe I used called for making your own beef broth. I used store bought and added the spices and cooked it down for a while but I found it was lacking some body and depth. I think the next time I will try to make my own broth or jazz up the store bought even more. The meat was beautiful, so tender. Definitely going to try this again.
