My Wiki contribution

I took a snapshot of my contribution to Wikipedia just in case it is taken down. I chose to revise and add more information about my native popular dish–Pho. There has been much debate on what constitutes this main dish and the styles that it may vary from location. Since my mom is from North Vietnam and my father is from the South, I was educated on the differences of Pho according to regions.

What I contributed was small but precise. I just explained the differences in meat-based Pho broth and chicken-based Pho broth including the differences in side dishes when going to a Korean owned Pho restaurant. Chicken-based Pho broth takes a much shorter time to cook compared to the meat-based since the meat-based broth has to soak in. Since I live close to Koreatown, I also see the differences in taste and cultural activity. Koreans like their Pho much more spicy. Almost 95% of Pho restaurants in California use thin noodles for their Pho because it is a Southern style everyone adopted to. Near the end of the “Styles of pho” section, I edited the detail that egg noodles and fat rice noodles are usually used in Northern Vietnam.
