Vietnamese Pho Ga (Chicken) image

Coming from a Vietnamese family, we have to find ways to cook traditional food on the fly and this is a recipe that my mom came up with years ago. Serve with your choice of garnishes - bean sprouts, Thai basil, chiles, etc. You can also make this kho - which is dry in Vietnamese - essentially putting the broth on the side and serving the noodles with the sauce recipe.

Time 1h46m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package 1/4-inch thick dried rice noodles
1 whole chicken
1 (2 inch) piece peeled ginger
2 whole star anise
½ teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
2 teaspoons salt
water to cover

Steps:

  • Cover noodles with cold water; set aside to soak, about 30 minutes.
  • Place chicken, ginger, star anise, and monosodium glutamate in a large pot. Sprinkle with salt and cover with water. Cook over medium heat until juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from pot and cool until easily handled, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove skin and shred chicken meat.
  • Drain noodles. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and divide among serving bowls.
  • Top noodles with shredded chicken and ladle in broth.

The broth was a bit bland for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely try this recipe again and add some more spices to the broth.
