Simply Asia Vietnamese Inspired Pho Beef Broth, 26 fl oz (Pack of 6)

Makes great PHO! Just delicious 😋

FLAVOUR IS EXCELLENT.

The taste of a ginger broth is subjective. Therefore, although I didn't love this one, I gave it 4 stars. I love a good ginger broth and have used multiple brands in soups I have made. To me, this broth had an odd aftertaste and was just okay. Others might love it, but I wouldn't purchase it again.

Because the town I live in is small, there is nowhere to get Pho. The closest place is over 60 miles away, so, I started making my own at home. This Pho broth is so good though I wish it had stronger anise flavor. Better to have a pre-prepped food that is less salty as this one is, I add salt to it. I put some of the broth on my dogs' dry kibble, he backed away from it, wouldn't touch it. That's okay, more for me plus he won't beg for it when I'm eating. It's very handy that the Pho broth is sold as six separate cartons. I can satisfy my Pho cravings easily.

Calling this “pho” broth is a stretch. It doesn’t taste of any of the signature pho spices. It’s a decent beef broth at best.

I make a ton of my version of a Vietnamese noodle dish with this PHO Beef Broth for my son. He's very limited in what his stomach can tolerate. He always gobble a weeks worth of this Vietnamese noodle dish in two days. It always turns out delicious when using this broth and he never shares it with the rest of the family. However, being the cook you know I always manage to eat one very small bowl when he is sleeping! There's definitely value in this purchase!

I love using this broth to make a quick pho soup. I just heat this up, add green onions and very thin roast beef stripes. It’s a family favorite, and it’s so easy and fast to make!

I live near San Jose, CA. We have the largest population of Vietnamese people of anywhere in the US. We have REAL pho everywhere! Having said that, one must understand that pho is not just the broth, but the other additions which make it an authentic soup experience. This broth helps you create that at home. Of course it’s not going to taste like “real” pho, but what would that be, exactly? Northern style, with wider noodles? Or southern, with narrower rice noodles? Hell, we have even seen pho prepared with udon wheat noodles, and that’s not traditional at all, but still delicious! It’s really all about what you make of it. We use the broth to cook the noodles, then add very thinly sliced roast beef, mung bean sprouts, basil, some sliced jalapeño, Huy Fong sriracha, and a good dollop of hoisin sauce. It’s not like restaurant quality, but who wants to spend hours simmering, skimming, straining, spicing to get that genuine pho broth flavor? This broth is pretty darn good, and makes a very tasty and comforting bowl of soup. The price for the 6-pack is competitive with supermarket pricing or perhaps actually beats it, that is, if you can even find it on your store shelves!
