This looks awesome. When you say rice noodles do you mean like what Thai's use for pad thai?

Yes ,what are sometimes called rice vermicelli ,as above .I have seen them fresh in specialty shops but I buy them dry and use them quite often in all types of dishes

A friend of mine tried to teach me how to pronounce Pho properly. Me, being of Norwegian descent, could not. However he did tell me to use lemongrass in it and that turned out great. So I made pho with a Norwegian accent.

The Vietnamese in Melbourne seem to pronounce Pho so it rhymes with "fur " and asking for a bowl of fur always tickles my sense of humour --"was that cat or dog fur ,sir " ha ha ha
