Tonkotsu Ramen Vs. Pho

I love it. Sounds like your family had some good memories fighting over delicious food.

Lol love this

As someone who had their family cook overnight and occasionally sometimes just in the morning. The flavor was consistent, it more so narrowed down to the meat and the texture it takes on. I don't eat meat anymore, but when I did, I preferred the meat that cooked overnight. It just sort melted in your mouth. There would be a roast that cooked in the broth over night with some ox tail and seasoning, and then when we served the food we also had fresh thinnly sliced steak that would have the broth poured over the top to cook. I never cared for that part the text just wasn't my thing, but that roast was gold, and it always to me was better when cooked overnight. I know not everyone cooks it this way and honestly for the most part there's no real wrong way to cook phó, there are several different types, however there are certainly things that do make the experience a mouthgasm. What I mean is there is a difference in how Thai, Lao, and even Vietnamese people make their phó and in their own ways it's all very tasty! I've learn to appreciate things for what they are and not just how I want them to be, there's a beauty within it. As far as that situation, what really matters is that no matter who made it, they took time out their day to do so and that it made a tasty meal, evennif it wasn't to the preference of the other.

That's one happy family, one that I don't have.

It depends on the ramen, there is only rlly one way to make pho, fundamentally, but ramen's broth is rlly easy to change, Josh simply done one of the most normal and liked which is pork bone broth, ramen can easily be rlly light

Pho is for breakfast

I feel that eating pho you feel good eating ramen you feel real heavy afterwards. I love both but definitely can’t eat ramen daily while I’d happily down a bowl of pho daily no problem.

I prefer Ramen but Pho is not bad either

🎯

same because i from VietNam

gosh i feel bless because i can eat pho everyday,its just a regular food in vietnam,i didnt realise pho is one of the most delicous dish.

I am Vietnamese, I used to like ramen but now I am realizing, it's very one dimensional and your palette just gets tired after a while. So I am agreeing with you. As I get older, I also like more layered flavours so that every bite is different. Pho hits all angles, sweet, savoury, sour, spicy, freshness, crunch, tenderness of noodles, meaty, beefy. When you are done. It's a very different type of feeling of satisfaction. Not like the satisfaction of finishing a tub of ice cream and hating yourself for being a pig.

I find Bún Bò (beef noodle soup) and Bánh Canh Cá (fish cake soup) tastier than Phở

Same because im half Vietnamese xd

BUN BO HUE IS LEGENDARY! as a viet, i can comfirm, im happy now

Yes, please Joshua if you are seeing this. Give it a try at Bun Bo Hue - The true king of broth

Có cái lồn, địt mẹ bún bò huế nhà mày tạp nham phàm phu tục tử vãi cứt, nó đéo bao h so đc với phở nhẹ nhàng tinh tế, bố cái thằng ăn tạp xong kêu bún bò ngon hơn phở :))))

Ngon thì tự khắc nó nổi tiếng nghe chưa óc con chó:))) đừng lấy ý kiến cá nhân của mày ra loè tây lông chưa biết gì, mà loè đc cl ấy, tây nó cũng công nhận phở là best cmnr, óc chó. Nguuuuuuuuu

Bun Bo Hue is gas but Tsukemen is not better than ramen dog

So true

i recently started trying some vietnamese food and i was surprised by how light it was! so much flavor yet i had enough energy rather than laying down for a nap for once

That's true but there are also other variations of ramen besides the famous tonkotsu that contain a clear broth and is pretty light!

@@hanalee4433 But the wheat noodle used for ramen makes it heavier vs the rice noodle in pho. So it's not just the broth. And remember, it's all about herbs/veggies in Viet food.

yeah that's right

Watched Keith floyd making pho in Vietnam he said it's a breakfast dish is that true ? looks amazing

@@JOEFABULOUS. actually there's no specific meal that Pho is categorized for. It's a type that you can have for anytime in the day. (even though back then it was meant to be a breakfast meal, but time flies and now you can get that anytime of the day)

@@m4x601 thanks for the reply

@@m4x601 That's so random, where you get that from? Yeah, in modern days, you can eat anything anytime you want but in the past, most of famous Phở shops just open in the morning. Just like you can eat any kind of vegetable or fruit all seasons (because of genetic modification) but It doesn't mean their nature change and each season for specific food is still a thing (better flavour). Phở in traditional is a breakfast, you can eat it anytime of day doesn't mean it's not.

@@NhiepKen agree, I believe the origin of Pho was meant to be served as breakfast. Since Pho was first appeared in the North of Viet Nam, people used to eat it in the morning with a kind of slogan which was “nothing could chase the early morning’s cold away better than a hot bowl of Pho noodle”. Traditional Pho has to be prepared and cooked in a long time, mostly people let the bone broth cooked overnight and have it ready to serve in the early morning. So yeah, as a Vietnamese myself (though I’m from the center of Viet Nam, not from the North nor South) I believe Pho was originally a breakfast meal. Sorry for my bad English guys

Bingo! You are dead on! See how he used brown sugar instead of rock sugar too? 😅

God the lemongrass chili oil is so fragrant

Chili oil makes Pho taste so much better. I prefer chili oil to sriracha

As a Vietnamese, I approve

dude be spelling pho like hes a texan trying to convert an athiest over facebook

Pho you.

I love your vids! Thanks for also thinking about our health and giving healthier cooking alternatives as well as the traditional method

Pressure cooker is like rice cooker it make perfect rice

Pho is better than ramen.

More legs please ❤

Love to see it

dont worry it is delicious

damn, I like ramen better. Not sure because it's more expensive here and I don't eat it often like pho or I just have lots of pho already.

@@lehoang7780 damn... tôi chưa ăn ramen bao giờ nó thế nào

Ha sadeek how is salat

Poor Uncle Roger is gonna have a fit when he sees how the noodles were prepped.

@@UnveiledShadows poor guy gonna get his uncle title revoked once more

Then afterwards nick becomes uncle

Joshua is shaking in his boots waiting for the response

Pho was made to be eaten any time of the day. Back in Vietnam it's perfectly normal to eat pho for brekafast

@@kprime433 because it was supposed to be eaten for breakfast lol

it's not "supposed" to. It's an all day thing. Same with other foods. Hu Tieu, Bun, etc etc. @@Perseptics

​yea, I said " it *_was_* for breakfast" and you said " it *_is_* for whenever", and we *_are_* both right. Bro, don't you see the _past_ tense in my statement? fr lmao rn@@kprime433

Yessss I agree!

any hot noodle soup is great in winter

Yes!! Phở is the best! The homemade ones are usually really good!

Ramen is oily

So sadly if you can't try it everyday in your country. Aw I highly recommended you take a trip to VN again to get original taste :))

​​@@user-fr1vu4xd8zno you dummy ☠️ Pho doesn't use oil or anything if it was then half Vietnamese are fat as hell like US alr💀

Very true Amigo

homie u not viet leave the chat

This!!!!!! Pho feels like a hearty and flavorful hangover and/or comfort food to me. Whereas ramen is: "Ah yes. Let me splurge and sleep for 12 hours" kind of food to me. Love them both, but I'm mood 1 more than 2.

Haha thats exactly how you eat it. North people often use vinegar instead of lime. Pickle garlic is the must.

@@travisnguyen6661 the pickle garlic was so good!

@@zsht argee =)) , i also mix them with chili sauce and black bean sauce!

Northern cuisines are always more blanch than Southern ones, same in any country, the tastiest cuisines are always in the South or/and next to the Sea, spicy and flavorful: Sichuan, Canton, central Vietnam.. Southern Vietnam cuisines are quite sweet and different from Northern ones.

@@Western_ENT Southern like a melody create they can get any food put in pho poor

If pho in Japan is as cheap as in Vietnam, I will eat it every day, ramen is too salty to eat on a hot day. Hello my neighbor, I am from Da Nang and live in Funabashi, Chiba.

Agree. For me, ramen is too salty. But tsukemen n soba r really good

quê HA hả, nhà ở đâu rứa b ơi ^_* ngoài mỳ quảng vs bánh mỳ ra có thể nấu thêm cao lầu, bún thịt nướng cùng vs bún bò cũng là ms món dễ ăn ấm bụng

mì quảng và bún bò ngon hơn rõ😆

pho is absolutely W.

i can eat Pho everyday too

Âu kây

Mình cũng không ham phở lắm nhưng cứ thích đi xem người ta khen món nước mình =))

I couldnt have said better myself. The holy broth that cleans your soul. Pho FTW!

Pho p..h...o... Phat,Happy and your day is Over. After you eat it.

Yup

Nah

Totally not biased view based on your profile name.

No it's not, by the 4th day eating the same dish, you'll feel sick of it.

​@@noivongxoang235not for all people

Vietnamese Bun Bo is better than Pho

N pho dont have veggies on the side, i rules them out, the south for me.

Southern pho is way better

​@@sonh99No

​@@kdm5706In my opinion, northern pho seems to be more famous in terms of origin and Nam Dinh pho is always the best, and Hue beef noodle soup is always number 1

Must be the MSG calling you back 😁

@@Channel17961 All restaurant prepared food has MSG in it, unless they specifically say no added MSG. Even then, there’s MSG because the sauces has them already.

@@Channel17961 are you vietnamese? Because I've never eaten a bowl of pho or any vietnamese dish without msg

😁lol

@@nam4574 Không có mì chính thì nó đắt, hồi xưa người ta dùng sá sùng, nhưng giờ sá sùng có giá tận 4 triệu 1 cân với loại ngon, 2 triệu/cân với loại rẻ. Nấu phở bán ngày trăm bát mà cho sá sùng thì lỗ chổng vó.

Agreed. I don't think the question is 'which is better?', it's always going to be 'which am I in the mood for right now?'

ramen is better

aww bad@@bourbon369

@@bourbon369pho is better

Salsa in pho?

Take a day to cook the both and cut the veggies. Make and frozen the both enough for a week of meal.

Also you’re looking extra thicc in this episode

My dad took my white stepmom and I to a Bun Bo Hue restaurant. Her expression when we told her what she was holding up was blood cake was priceless.

@@crockodile85 bro I hate blood cake so much, like if it’s in the pot, I try to avoid it.

@@B3NT0. you uncultured swine it's one of the best bites in a bbh bowl

Do you really think that white people can bear mắm ruốc and many other things in the bowl like us? No!

@@B3NT0. how could you???? its my fave along with pig feet 🥲🥲🥲

Good

So true.

Both are so delicious. 😋

Yep😂

I’ve been wondering where that went.

Is he the only foodtuber you watch? Because there's no way you haven't seen one on Adam Ragusea or anyone else aside from Babish lol

@@whoshotjj Love me some ragusea. His pots/pans are always immaculate, except his enameled, but the bottom never looks like it's seen a war zone, like Josh's.

@@christopherkarr1872 True. Both Dutch ovens are quite well used. I'd still put my money on Ragusea's though, mostly because I haven't really seen Josh's in a lot of videos. I get the feeling that Josh thinks he needs to make food for the content and not for the convenience, so he uses harder techniques (and not the Dutch oven because it's "dirty"). It's one of the reasons I love Adam.

I watched a video where the cook's enameled pot was immaculate. My comment was along the lines of "Oh, brand new pan for your video!". She said that BTF (Bartenders Friend) was her go to for keeping pans looking like new. Mine look like Josh's.

Vietnamese Bun Bo is better than Pho

@@sonh99 that's just your fuking opinion

You will switch.....trust.....just try one bowl of pho.

As a wise man said almost every one of his video (Uncle Roger), the answer is MSG. :D

living in Japan for 6yrears now and cannot be more agree on that.

medal of approval from a vietnamese

I can eat ramen every once in a while but I can eat Pho every day

@@wolfsokaya the flavors from the Beef bones aren't MSG 🤣. Pho does not equal MSG 😆

YOu missed bun rieu.

@@sdfv4zxmight as well add bun mang to the dish 😂

My local pho places knows my order as well.

Pho looks amazing ... but the ramen isn't Kosher

Same! They look so good!!

@@khalilahd. be careful, the ramen is haram

true! Ramen is great WHILE drunk, pho is great for AFTER you're drunk when you feel sick and miserable 😂

Pho is a great hangover cure y'all know lol

I wouldn’t compare bún to udon, because they’re not thick enough. Bánh canh, however, is more like udon.

@@TrueMentorGuidingMoonlight oh my, yes yes bánh canh. Maybe bánh canh is a tad chewier than udon ? But yes both are delicious

@@khanhtruong946 They’re similar; I’ve had both. I’ve even found recipes from Viet bloggers & chefs saying that if you can’t find real bánh canh noodles, just use udon and it will be acceptable.

@@TrueMentorGuidingMoonlight I tried making banh canh with udon noodles, but unfortunately, udon noodles can't replace banh canh noodles.

@@ngoclenguyen9546 I correct my last statement. It’s acceptable depending on who you ask 😂

try it, you might addicted to it as breakfast

Why are you everywhere 🤣 AI bot

bạn nên thử 1 lần ăn phở .

both are winners. Just the matter of the fact that people will select to eat these frequently or not, as Josh mentioned at the end of video. Also the taste of each self

I Agree with you ❤ . From Vietnam

What's the problem with comparing Apple to Orange?? It's like, if you have to pick betwen an Orange and an Apple, which one would you prefer, it's just as simple as that, just a damn simple question not rocket science.. I dunno why da fuck ya'll have to be wordy and try to make an essay out of simple things?!?!

If pho is quick, you are not doing it right. Beef bones take at least 6 hours and can go up to a week. Do you make your own beef balls?

😂😂😂😂 phở nấu nhanh 😂😂😂

To be honest, japanese cuisine is very flexible and dont really an authentic way, their dish can be changed really easy to create a new experineced to the dish. Vietnamese suisine on the other hand is all about unique and authentic and not very flexible (i'm vietnamese by the way)

@@sephirodv4427 I mean we have different types of pho depending on the region tho

@@tokyoghoul5530 where do I begin ... First of, we r a bunch of regioncism, Northener hate the Southener a lot n vice versa, we make food distinguishly according to region to fit those in that region and unfit the others. Nowadays the regioncism r less, but the flavor differences still there so u r not likely to find the same dish made by a Northener the same as the one made by a Southener. That applies to a lot of dish, pho included.
