Preparation

Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the Broth

In a large pot, combine the chicken, water, onion, ginger, star anise, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over high heat.

2. Simmer the Broth

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.

3. Add Flavorings

After an hour, add fish sauce and salt to the broth. Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.

4. Cook the Noodles

While the broth is simmering, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

5. Strain the Broth

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot and strain the broth to remove solids. You can shred the chicken and set it aside for serving.

6. Assemble the Pho

To serve, place a portion of noodles in a bowl, add shredded chicken, and ladle the hot broth over. Top with green onions, cilantro, bean sprouts, jalapeño, and lime wedges.
