I noticed that right after I put the eggs on either side, but didn't want to mess it up by rearranging things

Whatโ€™s so unhealthy about Pho? Good Pho at least?

Edit: typo

Not necessarily unhealthy by default, but we used some noodle replacements that were a bit lighter calorically / carbs wise. Also probably some reduced sodium compared to places around here ๐Ÿ˜…

Oh ok. Fair enough. I love the soup and stuff but I can swap noodles for something else if I can

The same thing that makes it taste so good: shit tons of sodium

Replacing Table Salt with MSG Could Help Reduce Your Sodium Intake, Study Says

MSG enhances flavor with only a third of the sodium of table salt.

Just gotta put a little magic powder in.

yeah, people are afraid of MSG but it's as harmful as salt, but you add it less, last time i made fries i sprinkled them with msg, my wife liked it a lot, i didn't dared to say her what i added;-)

I love pho and this looks really tasty. If you're shooting for low carbs I've had success with shirataki noodles.

Yep that's what we used! They worked wonderfully. Absorbed the flavor of the dish nicely.
