No More Phooey to Pho

I tried Vietnamese soup or "Pho" once, years ago.  I was completely unimpressed.  Since then I have developed a taste for foods flavored with fish sauce, cilantro, sricha, etc.  Tastes change.  So today when I spotted this blog post from Food Republik, I was intrigued.  For one thing, the photo looked wonderful.

It was time to make our lunch.  I had rice sticks, cilantro, edaname chicken broth, fish sauce, etc, etc.  No chicken.  But I did have frozen shelled shrimp.  So I made shrimp pho.  And it was so good.
