Best Veggie Inspired Pho Ever!

As promised, here is my follow-up recipe that is in the picture below with the Sesame Noodles.  Also, I’d like to mention that I am desperately trying to get all of my ancient photos into my recipes so that I can solely move forward with proper food photography.  If you’ve read my “About Me” you’d know that in order to get this blog up and running I needed to use crappy iPhone and other crappy photos from well before I’d ever owned an amazing camera and had thoughts of food blogging or food photography. Bear with me! Soon enough I’ll be able to only post my newest and ‘best-est’ photos for you.  Until then, you’re stuck with this.

Onwards, this dish was served in addition to my Sesame Soba Soy Scallion Noodles for hubbies bday.  I had absolutely no idea how this was going to turn out but thankfully, it was amazing!  Full of flavor, pretty, and instantly popular.  After a few bday beers let’s just say we were indeed slurping it up, however, not slurping gracefully.  It reminded me of my teenage years when my mother told me to never order pasta on a date.  Not because one should never do that, but because I, specifically, should never do that.  Thanks for the advice, mom!  I think you just may have been right.  With that in mind, slurp sloppily and enjoy!
