Popular Dining Area
Phở bò trộn, literally “mixed phở with beef,” is a Vietnamese noodle dish popular in the northern region. It is prepared by mixing fresh phở noodles (flat, thin rice noodles) with sautéd beef, greens (usually lettuce), and garnishes like roasted peanuts and fried shallots.
Phở bò trộn is usually enjoyed with extra vegetables and pickled vegetables (like carrots and daikon).
Many people like to serve it with sweet and sour nước chấm (Vietnamese dipping sauce made from fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic, and chili peppers), but this noodle dish is savory enough on its own.
Nobody knows when phở bò trộn was created, but this street food probably appeared at the same time as phở gà trộn (“mixed phở with chicken”) in the 1990s.
