To achieve an authentic pho broth experience, it is recommended to reconstitute the Pho Concentrate with MINOR’S® Low Sodium Bases or Classical Reductions Reduced Stocks. Reconstituting the Pho Concentrate with water alone may lead to an unbalanced broth flavor profile.
No, MINOR’S® Pho Concentrate is not vegan due to the inclusion of fish sauce. Minor's Pho Concentrate was carefully crafted to capture the authentic flavors of traditional Pho, and fish sauce plays a crucial role in delivering a bold depth of flavor. However, for those seeking a plant-based option, you can create a plant-forward Pho broth by reconstituting the Pho Concentrate with MINOR'S® Reduced Vegetable Stock. Enhance the broth with toppings like shiitake mushrooms or tofu and complete the dish with noodles and other plant-based toppings for a delicious vegan Pho experience.

Bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedges, jalapeños, hoisin sauce, sriracha sauce, fresh cilantro or scallions. Remember, the beauty of Pho lies in its versatility, so feel free to customize your toppings based on your taste preferences.
