It was the beef soup. It doesn't look too much like that picture, though.

What's the recipe for spring rolls? I love those things. I know wha the ingredients are, I just don't know how to prepare them myself.
There's a local pho place by work in Las Colinas. It's the absolute cheapest place I can eat a meal, and I love it. I can walk out stuffed for $8 for a large vermicelli bowl with bbq pork and a side of spring rolls. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... |

Ok, this brings me to another point. At vietnamese restaurants in Houston Spring Rolls are pieces of chicken, shrimp, bean sprouts, and some other stuff (cilantro?) wrapped in rice paper and served without frying with a side of peanut sauce. Then there's Vietnamese Egg Rolls, which are similar but with pork and few vegetables. They are served with lettuce and fish sauce. Then I moved to DFW and they're completely different names. Which one is the right name? Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... |

The trick is that you have to use rice paper. She gave us rice paper and a big bowl of warm water. First, you dip the whole rice paper into the warm water. Then, you lay out the paper on a large plate. Put whatever ingredients you like and then fold it like a burrito. Viola!!! You've got a spring roll. You can ust a sweet and sour sauce or a peanut sauce for the dipping sauce. |

The ones I had were made by a guy from Malaysia that I lived with in college. I think they can be either steamed, or fried. |

FWIW, Pho joints are generally named after the year they were established - eg Pho 99

John,
I used to live in California. I don't regret moving to AZ, but I do miss the variety of ethnic foods in CA. There ain't a lot of Thais or Viets in AZ. Hmm. WOnder why? Guess they get off in CA and can't see any reason to move on. But I am blessed with about 5-6 months a year in SE Asia. So I get all the Thai food I need. And if desperate, I can beg the wife to cook some. She is a gourmet cook and spent 6 weeks in Chiang Mai learning thai cooking. Ya know, I'm not the smartest, best looking, or richest guy in the world - but I might be the luckiest.

For anybody in northern VA, Pho Gourmet in Manassas (on 234 in the same strip mall as KMart) is excellent. I'm not big on the soup but they've also got a ton of other dishes that are kick ass. Lemongrass beef with rice noodles and Beef with Basil are my two favorites.
And the "summer rolls", made with rice noodles, shrimp and chicken wrapped in rice paper and served cold with peanut sauce are awesome. |

Actually, this is a very easy plate to make: BBQ pork or beef Rice or noodles Lettuce, carrots, & cucumbers Mix together, pour on fish sauce, and garnish with green onion and cilantro. Pho, on the other hand, takes about three hours to make. |

There is a great PHO place near my job located on NASA Road 1 and its eye shot from NASA (L.B. Johnson) Space Center. We eat there at least once a week. Soup obviously their specialty but they do make other pretty good plates as well. Its not heavy food (unless you over eat) and can go away satisfied without feeling like I need a nap. Gooooooooood Stuff. Funny thing I was watching FoodNetwork some time back and the show with Anthony Bourdain (A Cooks Tour) and he says during the episode as he's throwing back some Pho at place in Minneapolis......." This stuff will be as common as hamburgers one day"...........I believe him as we've been eating it for about 3 or 4 years now........
