Description

This refreshing vegan pho is made with lemongrass and ginger. I have mushrooms listed as an ingredient, but if you are a mushroom hater like me, feel free to skip them. I usually add them to my hubby’s bowl. Don’t skip the lemongrass though! It adds an amazing flavor to this lemongrass pho and is a great source of manganese.
