    Vietnamese beef pho is a dish to behold for lovers of Asian food - the fragrant broth combined with thinly sliced sirloin steak, and an abundance of fresh herbs will leave you wondering when you get to have it again.

    If by chance, you are prepared to make it tonight, there are a handful of special ingredients to stock up on first: fish sauce, coconut aminos, star anise, bean sprouts, and shirataki noodles.

    Beef Pho

    Of course, you can use zoodles in place of the shirataki noodles, but if you have the chance to try the latter, take it! But what are they exactly?

    Shirataki noodles are made from the konjak plant, which is native to the subtropical to tropical zones of eastern Asia. It is similar to a yam but has no relation to the more commonly known vegetable.

    They are not like "regular" noodles and have a funky smell to them. At a minimum, make sure to rinse the noodles under cold water to subdue the scent.

    For the best results, rinse them well with running water prior to cooking, then add them to a pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, drain and rinse.

    If you'd like, you can fry them over medium-high heat in a dry pan to remove as much water as possible. Now they are ready for the serving bowls!

    After you are swept off your feet by this amazing beef pho, your taste buds will surely be searching for more Vietnamese inspiration. Paleo pork spring rolls are a must to try, as well as Vietnamese beef stew.
