Quick Sausage Pho with Spinach⁠

Quick Sausage Pho with Spinach⁠

If you ask me what was the at-home lunch that I grew up with, I would say it is my mom’s noodle soup bowls!! From vermicelli, rice sticks to pasta, everything taste so comforting in a clear broth! ⁠

Whenever I get a chance to cook my own lunch fresh at home (I know there’s plenty of opportunity now!), noodle soup is my go-to. Why would I pick a cold sad salad over a warm bowl of quick sausage pho! Bonus, you can make them so quickly with minimal ingredients!⁠

Our local butcher shop (P&F Meats!) sells excellent gluten-free, nitrate-free sausages. So packed with flavor yet so easy to meal prep and put in any meal! ⁠

Which type of rice noodle should I use for quick sausage pho?

If you are new to gluten-free Asian cooking, you might be overwhelmed by the range of different rice noodles out there. From vermicelli, rice sticks, rice pasta, to brown rice ramen, thin, medium, thick, extra thick…

For this particular recipe, I would recommend dry flat rice sticks with about 3.5 mm width like this one (Affliate link).
