Cot Bun Bo Hue Style Beef Flavored Soup Base, 10 oz.

Added so much flavor to my phó.

I recently moved down south and the closest authentic Vietnamese restaurant is an hour away. There are a couple more americanized spots but they don't sell Bun Bo Hue, which is by far my favorite dish. So the other night I thought I'd just make my own. Well, there were a number of ingredients that I couldn't get my hands on. So I did a quick search to see if there were any alternative methods which is how I stumbled upon this product. I knew it wasn't going to be the real deal but I figured for the price, it was worth a try. And WOW, I am impressed!! It's great as is but I like my Bun Bo Hue a bit spicier and sweeter so I doctored it up a bit with a few ingredients I had on hand. SO GOOD and HUGE time saver! Give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

The media could not be loaded. We love pho! Especially on a cold night! However, it can get costly for a family of 4 at $10 a bowl. I could make it, but it’s a lot of ingredients and time that go into making it from scratch. This broth base is amazing!!! I boil the included herb packet, onion powder and ginger in a pot for about 10 min in 2 cups of water. After a roaring boil I add rice noodles, precooked chicken, 4 more cups of water and soup base to taste. After simmering for an additional 15 min, I add in some fresh lime juice, Hoisin sauce, sriracha and some fresh cilantro before serving. My family loves it! It tastes better than the restaurants and it’s so quick and easy. And for the price of 1 pho you can probably get 12 bowls at least!

It's a good product but it makes a very large batch! Since there's only one spice packet, I have to use it twice because I only make half at one time since using the entire mix would be several gallons. The flavor is very good, however.

Love the flavor of this so much!!!

Which I think is the goal, but definitely tasted different from the pho I've purchased from restaurants. Not sure which is more authentic, but this makes a TON of broth, so be prepared to freeze some if you don't share!

Is it easy? Yes but but it lacks depth of flavor and was so salty I ended up just pouring the whole pot of broth down the drain. Just make your chicken pho from scratch. This is not worth it.

Contains chicken fat and THATS where all the great flavor is
