Cultural interference blends in the taste of Vietnamese pho

In this class, members will divide into teams and cook three pho dishes: beef pho, lamb pho and vegetarian pho under the guidance of a professional Vietnamese chef. 

Not 100% instructions on the entire pho cooking process, but Vietnamese chefs will only instruct the teams on what the standard pho taste is. On that basis, members will personally combine the native ingredients of their country to create new pho flavors that blend with the typical Vietnamese pho taste.
