Pho Blend – Vietnamese Spice Blend
Transport your kitchen straight to the bustling streets of Hanoi with our Pho Blend, a beautifully balanced combination of aromatic spices that form the backbone of Vietnam’s most iconic dish — Pho.
This blend brings together Star Anise, Cinnamon, Cloves, Cardamom, Coriander, Fennel, Tellicherry Black Pepper, White Pepper, and Ginger — each ingredient chosen to recreate the complex fragrance of slow-simmered pho broth. The result? A warm, comforting, and gently spiced aroma with subtle sweetness and a peppery finish.
Whether you’re making a traditional beef or chicken pho, this blend captures that authentic Vietnamese depth in every spoonful. The mix also works beautifully in marinades, slow-cooked meats, or even as an infusion in rice and noodle dishes.
How to Use
Traditional Pho Broth:
Add 1 tablespoon per litre of broth or water. Place the blend in a spice bag or muslin cloth and simmer gently for 30–45 minutes, then strain. Add your meat, noodles, and herbs to complete the dish.
A true taste of Vietnam — captured, dried, and ready to transform your kitchen into a Pho house paradise.
