Fish and oyster sauce?!?
Gross (the recipe states vegetarian)

Unless you specify vegetarian versions.

But after 55 years, just the sound of it and what it represents is revolting to me

I added ½ of a jalapeño to the onion mixture and a big handful of mung beans along with the cooked noodles. I used quite a bit of soy along with chili paste to give it some punch along with all of Kate’s suggested toppings since I found the broth pretty bland. I used a good veg broth so I’m not sure what the answer is. Next time I’ll add bok choy as others suggested so bulk it up and maybe more mushrooms.

Are you using star anise? Regular would probably be terrible here but star anise is different and delicious in pho!

Hi Branan, yes you could substitute with your favorite mushrooms or ones that are easily available.

I agree, Julia, Kate’s recipes are my go-to and your thoughtful review made me smile.

Kate, I can’t wait to make this. I have an allergy to Shiitake mushrooms, but maybe portobello or button will be as tasty?

Thanks for putting so much effort into sharing your delicious meals!

My best,
Branan from Cali

I made it today on a very hot evening (Vietnamese weather!), and it won over even my carnivorous husband (he had four bowls). I have made so many of your recipes for years (halloumi tacos! pumpkin scones! easy tapenade! easy salsa! veggie paella! . . . the list goes on and on), and I have received so many compliments and requests for recipes, even though I am definitely NOT a chef. This latest amazing experience has finally prompted me to send you a THANK YOU from our family in Switzerland. Yours is the first website I search for new dishes, and by far the most reliable–I know whatever it is, the recipe will be simple enough for me and the end result a hit with kids and adults alike. We love Cookie and Kate!

Hi Gail, yes, you could try it with mushroom broth, that would change the flavor profile but it should complement the other ingredients.

Very bland!
