    Celiac.com 01/25/2022 - Phở (pronounced 'FUH') is a delicious soup made from beef, oxtail or chicken broth base. It's the national dish of Vietnam, and in most instances, phở happens to be gluten-free by default. 

    Phở is almost always served with a variety of condiments, including bean sprouts, cilantro, Thai basil, mint sprigs, scallions, and saw-tooth leaves, bird's eye chilis, sliced jalapeño peppers, hoisin sauce (make sure it's gluten-free), Sriracha (Rooster) Sauce, and lime wedges.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Definitely avoid egg noodles in your phở.  

    So, the takeaway is that Phở is typically gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. Just be careful about what gets added. As always, avoid any ingredients you're not sure about, and talk to the restaurant workers about the need for your dish to be gluten-free.

    Our article on top Pho restaurants in San Francisco and the Bay Area led to questions about pho restaurants in a number of other cities. With that in mind, here's a list of some solid pho restaurants in the Los Angeles region.

    Without doubt, if you're looking for pho in the Los Angeles area, and you have a few extra minutes, head to Orange County, especially Little Vietnam in Garden Grove. There you'll find a number of great choices in a small area. Please note that our list is barely a starter. It is very much incomplete and meant as a basic reference. There are so many solid pho restaurants in the region that it's hard to count them all, let alone list them here.

    If we missed a favorite pho spot of yours, or if you know of a good one, please share it in the comments below.

    Gluten-Free Vietnamese Chicken Herb Pho Soup with Soft Boiled Eggland's Best Eggs
    Celiac.com 01/04/2021 - Phở or pho is a Vietnamese soup containing broth, vermicelli (rice) noodles (bánh phở), herbs, and chicken (called phở gà) or beef (called phở bò). Phở gà, or chicken pho is a marriage of the fragrant broth, tender chicken, chewy vermicelli noodles, and topped with aromatic herbs, vegetables, and sometimes an egg and other condiments.
    Speaking of eggs, the brand you choose makes a difference. We suggest using Eggland's Best eggs because they offer micronutrients and antioxidants essentials to a celiac's diet. Eggland's Best eggs taste delicious, an have 6x the Vitamin D, and more than double the Omega-3s, than regular eggs, so when you reach for eggs, reach for Eggland's Best.
