Pho was born in Northern Vietnam during the mid-1880s. As influenced by the history, The dish was heavily mixed by both Chinese and French cooking. Rice noodle and spices ( cinnamon sticks, cloves, coriander pods, star anise and cardamom) were imported from China; the French popularized the eating of red meat . In fact, it is believed that "phở" is derived from "pot au feu" a French soup. Vietnamese cooks blended the Chinese, French and native influences to make a dish that is uniquely Vietnamese.
