Cross-post this on a vietnam community (if they exist) and see what they say.

Well I wasn’t gonna say anything So right off the bat I’m seeing bell peppers(?), garlic, and lemongrass which do not go in pho. Don’t use cooking wine/sake - if it’s for acidity, using lime is typical. Rice noodles instead of glass. Needs herbs like basil and cilantro. Also this is nitpicky, but gà literally means “chicken.”
But you know, OP gets away with it because they said “inspired” and made with ingredients they had

Thanks! Indeed, that’s why I added the “inspired” tag

Not as an excuse, but some explanation - I added pepper for some color, garlic because I can’t live without it :), glass noodles as I didn’t have rice noodles, sake as I didn’t have lime or lemon (every store is closed on Sundays where I live, so…).

I used chicken broth I cooked myself yesterday, and I generally use turkey/chicken interchangeably, that’s why I used gà.

What about the spices / aromatics? Anything else I was missing?

Anyhow, points taken, 2nd time I make this I’ll be sure to make it proper!

theres actually regional variations of pho where lemongrass is used (mostly in central vietnam), but youre right about the glass noodles - bánh phở (rice noodles) are kinda the defining feature!

I’m sure it tasted great! Plus it’s always awesome when people cook your cuisine:) The spices and aromatics look good, it gets the core flavor down. It doesn’t hurt to throw in a couple extra cinnamon sticks and star anise. Also add cardamom. I also like adding bean sprouts myself

For Asian recipes in general, I usually look up youtube videos. Bonus points if it’s not in English (but hopefully translations provided). You get very authentic recipes that way, instead of recipe articles where you don’t know who heck wrote it lol
