This pho recipe is easy, delicious and with nutritional superpowers.
I spend my whole weekend with my daughters at their soccer tournament. I saw a total of eight…yes, EIGHT soccer games. By the last game, I was so confused, I couldn’t tell who was winning, or losing or what team was playing. I was cold, sleepy and I really wanted to go home.
I know that I wasn’t the one playing, but I was starting to feel like maybe I was coming down with something and was craving to eat a bowl of warm soup. Thankfully I didn’t come down with anything, but Romina did because on our way home she started complaining of a sore throat.
That’s why the first thing I did when we got back was to start preparing this pho with zucchini noodles that truly is a nutritional powerhouse. .
Pho is a Vietnamese soup that is usually made with rice noodles, but I love making it with zucchini noodles instead. I would suggest buying a Spiralizer because it’s quite wonderful and easy to use.
I swore I would N-E-V-E-R buy it because I couldn’t fit another kitchen gadget in my house. Still, it was in the back of my mind so as soon as I found a little nook that was the perfect size to store it I bought it and have absolutely no regrets. The Spiralizer is amazing!
This pho recipe is as simple as boiling water and adding garlic(a natural antibiotic), ginger(anti-inflammatory and full of superpowers), chives( vitamins A, C, and K), shiitake mushrooms(give a boost for our immune system), clove, cinnamon, orange, anise, and lemon.
When it’s ready you finish it off with tamari sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. It’s a perfect combination of ingredients ready to attack any pesky cold or virus… besides tasting absolutely delicious.
