Ready to dive in? Here’s how to make this amazing Chicken Pho that everyone will love.

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces dry Chinese egg noodles
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon minced lemon grass
  • 5 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1 cup chopped bok choy

Directions

  1. Start by bringing a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the dry noodles and let it cook until soft, which takes about 8 minutes. Drain the noodles and set them aside.

  2. Next, in a large pot, combine the chicken stock, fish sauce, minced garlic, fresh ginger, lemon grass, and chopped green onions. Bring this mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  3. Now, stir in the cubed chicken, bean sprouts, and bok choy. Cook everything together until it's heated through; this should take around 5 minutes.

  4. Ready to serve? Divide the cooked noodles between two large bowls and pour the hot pho broth over the top. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Pho right away!

How to Serve My Chicken Pho

Serve your Chicken Pho hot, topped with extra bean sprouts or green onions if you like. It’s great on its own, but you can also pair it with lime wedges and fresh herbs for added freshness!

How to Store My Chicken Pho

If you have leftovers, store the broth and noodles separately in airtight containers. The broth will stay fresh in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Just reheat it gently when you’re ready to enjoy it again!

Tips to Make My Chicken Pho

  • Make sure not to overcook the noodles as they will get mushy.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings! Add cilantro, mint, or chili for an extra kick.
  • For extra flavor, let the broth simmer longer with the spices.

Variation

If you want to try something different, you can use shrimp or tofu instead of chicken. Both options taste wonderful in this soup!

FAQs

1. Can I use store-bought stock? Yes, you can! Store-bought chicken stock is a great time-saver, but homemade stock will add even more flavor.

2. Is this recipe spicy? Not really! It’s mild, but you can add chili flakes or fresh peppers if you prefer some heat.

3. Can I freeze Chicken Pho? Yes, you can freeze the broth, but it's best to freeze the noodles separately to keep them from getting mushy.

There you have it—the simple and delightful Chicken Pho that you can make at home! Enjoy!
