Next, stir-fry the beef over high heat until it is medium rare, slightly browned, and fragrant.

Step 3 : Roll the pho noodles.

Spread a layer of rice noodles on a clean plate, then add the fresh vegetables and other greens underneath, and the beef on top.

Next, roll the rice noodle sheet tightly around the filling. Be careful to roll gently and evenly to prevent the rice noodle sheet from tearing.

Step 4 : Prepare the dipping sauce.

Mix the fish sauce with half a bowl of cooled boiled water, add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 5 tablespoons of fish sauce, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar.

Cut the kohlrabi and carrots into square pieces, then add salt, sugar, and vinegar (1 tablespoon of each), mix well, and put into a bowl of fish sauce.

The ingredients in pho rolls can be changed according to individual preferences, such as replacing beef with pork, boiled shrimp, and adding various vegetables as desired. One of the fun things about making pho rolls at home is the ability to spontaneously combine ingredients.

Before wrapping the pho, separate the pho noodles into individual pieces and spread them out on a clean cutting board. The pho noodles are thin and fragile, so handle them gently when separating them.

To make a visually appealing pho roll, flip the smooth side of the pho noodle sheet down and the slightly rougher side up. Once rolled, the pho roll will look glossy and smooth.

When rolling the pho, add the prepared ingredients one by one. Only add a small amount of each ingredient so that the roll is just the right size; it won't be too big as it will easily unravel, ruining the appearance and preventing it from being too heavy to eat.
