a bowl of broth that took a day to make and seconds to vanish.
means A Vietnamese soup of rice noodles in a long-simmered beef or chicken broth, served with herbs, lime, and chili.
from From Vietnamese 'phở,' a word whose own roots are debated. The most popular story links it to French 'feu' (fire), as in 'pot-au-feu,' the boiled-beef dish French colonists brought to Vietnam — but this is contested. Others trace it to Cantonese 'ngau yuk fan' or the word for flat rice noodles. The dish itself emerged in northern Vietnam around the early 20th century, near Hanoi, and the truth of its naming remains genuinely uncertain.
