Little Who fell in love with phó but we couldn’t find a really authentic Vietnamese restaurant in our tiny little Southern town. Thankfully, we have some great friends on the internet that introduced us to the Phó Hōa seasoning packets! We added a few ingredients to make it our own and now it’s a weekly favorite that we get to share with you. Enjoy!

** You can find the seasoning packets in your local asian grocery store but if you don’t have one nearby or you’re intimidated to go in, I’ve put affiliate links for them below. (disclosure)

But really, go into the Asian market and use my guides to help you find the best stuff 😉
