You're welcome.

There are numerous friends of mine who have requested that I post this recipe for Phở Gà (Chicken Pho!). Finally, tonight, I sat myself down and hammered it out for you all so that you, too, can share in its awesomeness.

The reason I love this recipe

  1. You can make it for a group of people.
  2. It’s EASY to make (and fun!).
  3. It only takes 45 mins to an hour to cook (thank you Instant Pot!).

By the way: This recipe makes about four HUGE Ramen bowls full of Pho broth.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HERE IS THE RECIPE.

Tools:

  • Instant Pot (Or Pressure Cooker)
  • Knife (and cutting board)
  • Sieve (for separating the contents from the broth)
Ingredients:

For Pho Broth:

  • 1 Yellow Onion (Quartered)
  • 2 Inch Piece of Ginger Root (Roughly Chopped)
  • 3 Cardamom pods (Lightly Crushed)
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • 1 TBSP Coriander Seeds
  • 3 Star Anise Pods
  • 5 Cloves
  • 1 TSP Fennel Seeds
  • 8 Cups Water
  • 1 Bundle Cilantro
  • 3 TBS Fish Sauce
  • 1 TBS Sugar (I Use Raw Sugar)
  • 1 Fuji Apple (Cut In Half)
  • 1 TSP Salt
  • Chicken (Your choice of chicken — boneless or not)
  • Olive Oil

For Pho Toppings/Noodles:

  • 1 Bag Vermicelli Rice Noodles (or glass rice noodles)
  • 1 Bunch Green Onion
  • 1 Bunch Cilantro
  • 1 Bag Bean Sprouts
  • Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 1 Lime
  • 1 Yellow Onion
  • Hoisin Sauce (Optional)
  • Sriracha Sauce (Optional)

Instructions For Making Pho Ga:

Plug in Pressure Cooker and hit Saute Function.

Quarter one Yellow Onion and roughly chop the Ginger Root.

When Pressure Cooker reaches Hot, put in one TBS Olive Oil.

Add Onion and Ginger Root and let Char for four mins.

Add cinnamon, Cardamom, Coriander, Star Anise, Cloves, and Fennel Seeds and cook for one extra min (or until fragrant).

Turn off Saute Function (Cancel Button),

Add Water, one Bunch of Cilantro, Chicken, Fish Sauce, Sugar, Salt, and Apple,

Put lid on pressure cooker and seal (make sure the pressure valve is in the “sealing” position (NOT venting).

Cook the broth on Manual Mode (general pressure cook function) for at least 20 to 30 mins (or longer if desired!)

Natural Release for about 10 to 15 mins.

When done (pressure completely released), remove the lid and set aside.

Remove chicken if possible and set aside.

Strain contents (separate the broth into a pot)—I usually put a sieve on a cooking pot and pour the contents from the Instant Pot through the sieve into the cooking pot.

If there is chicken left in the contents (now in the sieve) remove and set aside with the rest of the chicken.

Toss the remaining contents in the trash.

Put the pot (now containing the broth) on the stove and heat until it’s lightly bubbling.

Preparing the bowl of Pho (and toppings!)

Follow the instructions to cook the bag of noodles. (Strain them in a colander with cool water so they don’t continue to cook after they’re done).

Slice the other yellow onion.

Chop the cilantro and green onion.

In a bowl:

  • Add noodles, chicken, cilantro, bean sprouts, basil leaves, green onion, and lime juice.
  • Add the broth (now hot).
  • Add sauces (if desired).

Lastly, enjoy. You just made Pho, and it tastes amazing!

Turn on some Netflix and relax with your lovely bowl of Pho. <3XX
