Ah, Pho (pronounced Fur) is one of my favourite meals! Especially if I am starting to feel a bit run-down in the winter months as it is just full of goodness. This recipe may seem a little bit more 'filly' then my others - but trust me, this Pho is amazing and I am so happy with the result!
Let me know what you think when you make it! I would love to see your posts - remember to tag me: @plant.steph on instagram! Ingredients: (serves 2)
