This recipe was born during my college days when I craved Vietnamese pho but had neither time nor money. The secret? Using frozen seafood mix and instant dashi powder for umami depth in minutes.
While not traditional pho, this recipe borrows Vietnamese flavor principles (fish sauce, lime, herbs) for quick home cooking
