Pho is a Vietnamese soup influenced by Chinese and French cooking. Typically, it includes bone broth, rice noodles, meat (often thinly sliced beef or chicken), warming spices, and loads of garnishes. How do you eat pho? You eat pho with chopsticks and a spoon.
But in short-order joints, such as Vietnamese takeouts, it's a bit harder to get a special request because of the quick turnaround time. There are, however, some Vietnamese dishes that don't need to be modified to fit in a low-carb diet, and most of them contain a protein as the main ingredient.
Make keto pho noodles. Spiralize zucchini and divide the zucchini noodles among 4 bowls. Slice steak. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and place over the zoodles. We want it sliced as thin as possible as we’ll be cooking the steak with the broth. Assemble low carb pho.
Traditional pho is made with rice noodles and the broth even has sugar added – not keto friendly! But my easy keto pho recipe is made with zucchini noodles and Besti sweetener in place of sugar. It has just 4.8 grams net carbs per 2 cup serving.
