Vegetarian Pho or Pho Chay – a Tasty Healthy Vegan Choice

September 22, 2009

Vegetarian pho, or phở chay, has never been about healthy eating in Vietnam. Now with pho very popular in the U.S. and the population more conscious about leading a healthy lifestyle, it’s only natural that restaurants offer vegetarian pho or pho chay on their menus.
