Hi tt,

Your dish looks yummy. Can you please tell me the brand/name of the fishball you use? I have not tried the frozen fishball in Denver, and wondered if one brand is better than the other. Thanks!

anon,
i use store brand (sold by the pound in the store) so there's no brand.

lance,
the only 2 sauces for eating with pho are hoisin sauce and tương ơt (smooth bright red pepper sauce). Not sure what satay sauce you're talking about.... Anyways, vietnamese satay sauce is different then malaysian satay sauce. The vietnamese version is based on the chinese version (the kind served at all most all chinese restaurants). Bascially all it is is pepper and garlic stir fried together in oil until fragrant other spices like 5 spice, dried shrimp, preserved beans (tàu xì), shallots or lemongrass may also be added to give the sauce a little "kick".

Ching,
thanks...I notice you're a big fan of fish balls huh? The kind I use has a filling in the center have you had those before?
