Fermented Food Adventures & Recipes
The unique and deep flavor of pho fusing with the quick satisfaction of a tangy pickled egg. Let’s face it, you need this! In case you hadn’t noticed, there’s a lot of pho flavored pickles and dishes on this blog. In fact, there’s pages worth. Just when I think my […]
Just look around on this site and you’ll quickly see I have a great love of pho (pronounced “fuh” and almost bordering on “fur”), the now iconic Vietnamese noodle soup which is often spiced up with a healthy dose of sriracha sauce. I love pho so much I even created […]
I always had trouble coming up with a name for these, like my Phokra and Phomato. A mix of the word pho and pickles – Phockles – (pronounced “Fuckles” since pho is pronounced “fuh”) just never sat right. This is my update: Phocumber! Sure, it sounds like Fuck Umber, but […]
Writing this post feels pretty cathartic for me. Although loading up a Reuben sandwich and frying it on a pan is pretty darn straightforward, this post is the culmination of many different pho-spiced Reuben components I developed over a month. If you want to see how I personally prepare & […]
When I came up with this vinegar (i.e. unfermented) pickle recipe, I had made fermented “phokra” several times. (That name is a no-brainer of course.) I love that stuff and plan to post a recipe at some point. Fermented foods are rich in probiotic bacteria and have tremendous flavor. On […]
I’m excited to share this recipe. It’s really delicious and the addition of the pho spice really puts it over the top flavor wise. This is the corned beef I used in my Pho Reuben sandwich. I devoted a whole section of my website to this epic meal because I […]
Did you know that “pho” is pronounced “fuh”? So when I tell people, “You need to get the pho kraut!,” it can sound a little threatening. But I really just mean, you need to eat this! It’s almost as delicious as pho soup. And if you don’t know what that […]
In case you didn’t know, I love Pho soup. Did you know pho is pronounced “fuh”? There’s a restaurant here in the Atlanta area called “What the pho?” and I’ve heard of one called “Pho King Awesome.” (My all-time favorite pho place, by the way, is here in Atlanta and […]
Russian dressing is good on so many things (burgers, fries, wings, hot dogs, brisket, sandwiches, and much more). I made it most recently to use on an epic Pho Reuben sandwich which incorporated many fermented and pho-spiced components. That Russian dressing, which is featured in this post, used several fermented […]
Really, who doesn’t want to try pho-spiced ketchup? (Besides my wife, I mean.) I’m telling you, it’s absolutely brilliant. Or a Russian dressing made with said pho ketchup, in which the dressing is also made using your own delicious, Paleo-friendly mayo, fermented hot sauce and fermented horseradish? Which then goes […]
