Oh Ricey Pho Beef Flavour
Oh Ricey Pho Beef Flavour
Acecook's Oh Ricey Pho strikes the perfect balance that so many instant pho miss — neither bland nor overly spicy. Rice noodles in a clean beef broth, manufactured in Vietnam under Japanese quality standards. Add your own sriracha, hoisin, and sprouts to make it your own. Authentic pho flavour, ready in minutes.
- Prep the bowl
Place the rice noodles and seasoning sachet into a large bowl. Spread the noodles out a little so the hot water can reach every strand evenly. Rice noodles are thinner and more delicate than wheat noodles, so they cook quickly.
- Add boiling water
Pour 400ml of freshly boiled water over the noodles and seasoning. Make sure everything is properly submerged in the water. Cover the bowl with a plate or lid to trap the steam and let it all sit for 3 minutes undisturbed.
- Stir and serve
Remove the cover and stir well until the seasoning is fully dissolved and the rice noodles have separated into individual strands. The broth should be clear, light, and fragrant with that classic pho aroma. Serve while hot.
- Make it yours
Pho is all about customising. Add fresh bean sprouts, a squeeze of sriracha, a drizzle of hoisin sauce, or some fresh herbs like coriander and Thai basil. Build it the way you like it. That is the whole beauty of pho.
Background
Every packet has a story behind it. Here's where this one comes from, what makes it tick, and why it made the cut for the box.
Acecook started in Osaka in 1954 and has since expanded across Asia, with major operations in Vietnam. They are known for bridging Japanese quality standards with Southeast Asian flavours, producing everything from premium Japanese cups to Vietnamese pho.
Vietnamese noodle soups are defined by their clarity and freshness. Unlike the heavy broths of Japan, Vietnamese pho relies on aromatic spices and herbs for flavour. The tradition of customising your bowl at the table with fresh herbs and sauces is central to the experience.
A hearty beef broth with a robust, meaty depth that fills the bowl. Beef-based noodle soups have a long tradition across Asia, from Vietnamese pho to Chinese beef noodle soup, and the rich flavour of the stock makes every spoonful deeply satisfying.
Thin, flat rice noodles that are lighter and silkier than wheat-based ramen. Rice noodles cook quickly and have a delicate, almost translucent quality that lets the broth take centre stage. Their soft, slippery texture is what gives pho its distinctive, comforting character.
Pho originated in northern Vietnam in the early 20th century and has become the country's national dish. The broth is traditionally simmered for hours with star anise, cinnamon, and other aromatics. Rice noodles give it a lighter, silkier texture than wheat-based ramen.
This is one of those noodles that consistently earns its spot in our lineup. It does not need a gimmick or a viral moment to sell, it just tastes great. The kind of bowl that people order once and then quietly keep reordering. Understated quality at its best.
Topping Suggestions
A few toppings that take this bowl from good to great. Most are already in your kitchen, and every one is optional.

Hoisin Sauce
Hoisin sauce lends a sweet, salty, and subtly spiced depth, glazing the noodles with a glossy, umami-packed richness.

Spring Onions
Spring onions provide a mild oniony bite and a touch of freshness, adding a hint of pungency and color to the dish.

Chilli Oil
Chilli oil delivers a fiery kick and a deep, smoky heat, adding a spicy dimension that can transform the noodles into a sizzling delight.
