Our attempt at a healthy bowl of pho

Looks like a face. 😃
- I noticed that right after I put the eggs on either side, but didn't want to mess it up by rearranging things
  
  And it looks better because it looks like a face!
What’s so unhealthy about Pho? Good Pho at least?
Edit: typo
- Not necessarily unhealthy by default, but we used some noodle replacements that were a bit lighter calorically / carbs wise. Also probably some reduced sodium compared to places around here 😅
  
  Oh ok. Fair enough. I love the soup and stuff but I can swap noodles for something else if I can
- The same thing that makes it taste so good: shit tons of sodium

  Replacing Table Salt with MSG Could Help Reduce Your Sodium Intake, Study Says
  MSG enhances flavor with only a third of the sodium of table salt.
  Just gotta put a little magic powder in.
I love pho and this looks really tasty. If you're shooting for low carbs I've had success with shirataki noodles.
- Yep that's what we used! They worked wonderfully. Absorbed the flavor of the dish nicely.
Maaaan I love pho that looks sooo good.
