Fake Pho Recipe

So, I've been a bit obsessed with pho {pronounced fu, weird. i never get it right} it's a vietnamese noodle soup that is YUMMY!

there was a place I saw in Boise when we were there....we didn't get a chance to go :(

there was a place in Orem that I saw over Christmas.....didn't get a chance to go :(

I've been searching for recipes and found one on pinterest.....not as awesome as I thought it would be, still  yummy, but my spice proportions were probably wrong {it smelled SO bad in our house....like cinnamon and something bad!}

we ate it after church on sunday and it was good, but i couldn't get over the cinnamon smell! lol. 

it doesn't help that I can't find an asian food market around here ANYwhere. no vietnamese meatballs, or fresh rice noodles, or other stuff....

So we had some leftover cilantro and hot chili sauce and I wanted to make my own pho

out of ramen and whatever else we had....

Fake Pho

Ingredients:

Ramen noodle package {oriental flavor}

1/4-1/2 cup frozen edamame

cilantro

lime

bean sprouts {if you want}

Sriracha sauce {pictured--very essential!}

Meat {if you want more protein}

I used some leftover philly cheesesteak sloppy joe meat from the night before {very good, i suggest you try it!}

Boil your ramen water

Add edamame

bring back to a boil

Add noodles

Heat up the leftover meat

Once noodles are done, add spice packet

Add meat

Pour into a bowl

Put in some cilantro {up to you how much, I used about a tablespoon, or more}

squeeze in a lime wedge

add in some Sriracha Sauce {the more you add the spicier it will be}

Enjoy!!!

{Unfortunately.....there is a lot of sodium in the ramen spice packets, you can always use half the packet per whole ramen recipe---what I usually do--it still gives it flavor without ALL the sodium. this ever swelling preggo has to watch those things! :)}
