What makes us
happy…
Thao's grandparents came from a small town called Nam Dinh in
northern Vietnam where Pho noodles originated. Their Pho soup was
made famous at their family restaurant for decades. Using this
recipe that her grandparents perfected over 80 years ago in their
kitchen, we capture the same intense flavors in an all-natural
spice packet.
Traditionally, Pho noodles can take up to 7 hours to
prepare. Our Happy Pho noodles soup takes only 15 minutes to
make and tastes just like a delicious bowl of Pho soup you might
find on the streets of Vietnam.
All the Pho soup we found, whether pre-packaged or served at
restaurants, in Vietnam or overseas, had artificial flavorings,
abundant MSG (Monosodium glutamate, a common food additive) or
heaps of sodium. Our bodies reacted to these unnatural substances
in unpleasant ways. Thao was constantly thirsty and couldn't
hydrate herself unless she drank a whole case of water with added
electrolytes. In addition, she got severe headaches that kept
her up at night. Karen often felt 'buzzy' or tingly throughout her
body then would spike into hyper-mode and then crash.
We also found that most Asian noodles available in stores were
one of two types. They were either unhealthy, being
over-processed or fried, made with white rice and flour., and often
chocked full of unknown chemicals. Or they were healthy and
wholegrain, but tasted like cardboard masquerading as noodles.
Unlike most other Pho noodles products out there, Happy Pho
noodles are made from brown rice (wholegrain rice) that is high in
fiber and nutrients, contain no MSG and is low in sodium.
We've also added organic green tea from ancient tea trees in the
mountains of North Vietnam. Happy Pho is as good for you as it
tastes. It is a nourishing, soulful, safe food if you are
gluten-intolerant, sensitive to MSG, want a healthy tasty quick
meal, or love Pho noodles and want to make it at home so you can be
sure of what goes in your food.
With Happy Pho, simply add the brown rice noodles with organic
green tea, the savory spice packet and fresh organic ingredients.
You'll create a healthy, easy Vietnamese Pho noodles meal in your
own kitchen in just a fraction of the time it once took.
We started our initial line with three distinct Pho noodles
soups - Garlic Goodness, Zesty Ginger and
Shiitake Mushroom- each our modern interpretation of a traditional
recipe. Why not trying them all? Or perhaps you can use them
in your own favorite soup, salad or stir fry recipes?
