Time 2h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 quarts water
3 pounds chicken bones
1 whole chicken
1 medium onion
1 (1 inch) piece ginger
1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken broth
¼ cup rock sugar
3 teaspoons fish sauce
2 cubes pho ga soup seasoning
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 (16 ounce) packages rice stick noodles (banh pho)
½ pound bean sprouts
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
6 sprigs Thai basil, or as needed
1 lime, cut in wedges

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a stockpot. Meanwhile, rinse chicken bones under hot water to get rid of impurities.
  • Place bones in the pot of boiling water. Reduce heat and simmer until starting to soften, skimming any fat off the surface of the broth, about 60 minutes. Discard parboiled bones.
  • Place whole chicken into the pot and simmer until no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Combine onion and ginger in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until nicely browned and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Smash ginger with the backside of a knife onto a cutting board. Place onion and ginger into the broth. Add chicken broth, rock sugar, fish sauce, pho ga seasoning, and salt.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add rice noodles and boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Peel skin off of the cooled chicken; discard skin and bones, reserving the meat.
  • Serve noodles in bowls topped with chicken meat and broth. Garnish with bean sprouts, green onion, cilantro, and Thai basil. Squeeze a wedge of lime into each bowl.

Number Of Ingredients 18

10 oz rice noodle, dried, narrow, and flat
warm water, for soaking
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorn
1 tablespoon coriander seed
4 pods whole star anise
1 piece fresh ginger, 2 inch (5 cm) piece

  • After 20 minutes of soaking, drain the rice noodles, then return to the bowl.
  • Remove the chicken from the broth.
  • Strain the broth over the noodles. Pour the noodles and broth back into the pot over high heat, then add the fish sauce. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Shred the chicken.
  • Divide the noodles between four serving bowls and top with the shredded chicken, jalapeño, bean sprouts, and Thai basil. Ladle the hot pho broth over the noodles. Add a squeeze of lime, green onions, and any other favorite toppings.
  • Enjoy!
