Brown Rice Noodles (Pho Gao Lut)

Product Introduction:

Brown Rice Noodles, also known as pho gao lut, are a type of pho noodle made from 100% whole grain brown rice flour. By retaining the bran and germ layers of the rice, brown rice pho has a distinctive light brown color and contains more nutrients than pho made from regular white rice, including fiber, B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants. This is a healthier alternative to traditional pho, suitable for health-conscious individuals, those on a diet, or those looking to increase their fiber intake. Brown rice noodles often have a chewier texture and the characteristic flavor of brown rice.

Instructions for Use:

1. For Dried Pho:

   • Soak the dried pho in cold water for about 10-15 minutes until the noodles soften.
   • Bring water to a boil, add the soaked pho, and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the noodles are tender to your liking.
   • Remove the pho and rinse quickly under cold water to prevent sticking.
   • Drain well before preparing pho soup, stir-fried pho, or fresh spring rolls.

2. For Fresh Pho:

   • Fresh pho is usually already soft and can be used directly.
   • If the pho is slightly dry or sticky, you can quickly blanch it in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes to separate the strands.

3. Preparation:

   • Pho Soup: Place the prepared pho in a bowl, pour hot pho broth over it, and add your choice of meat (beef, chicken...), herbs, and seasonings.
   • Stir-fried Pho: Stir-fry the pho with meat, seafood, vegetables, and seasonings.
   • Pho Rolls: Use the pho sheets to wrap with fresh vegetables, meat, shrimp, and dip in a mixed fish sauce.
