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.
