【Kitty Kitchen】I teach you how to make Phở Gà

rice noodles

🥗Healthier: zucchini noodles

💰Cheaper: egg noodles

Zucchini noodles are lower in carbs, while egg noodles are often less expensive.

fish sauce

🥗Healthier: soy sauce

💰Cheaper: salt

Soy sauce is a common substitute for those avoiding fish.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: spinach

Parsley offers a similar flavor profile, while spinach is budget-friendly.

chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Tofu provides a plant-based option, while canned chicken is often less expensive.

Shred your chicken! Separate your meat from the carcass. Skin can be put in for stock too but I air-fry the skin as a little snack/topping for later.

Peel your onion/garlic! Toast it lightly to give it some char.

Toast your spices! Once fragrant, put them into the spice bag.

Assemble your stock pot: carcass, onions, ginger, spice bag, rock sugar. Put in 4-6 quarts of water (make sure it covers the carcass) because it will reduce.

Let it get to a boil and make sure to skim off the scum/foam off the top with a mesh strainer/spoon/ladle.

Once it's been 30 minutes, take out your spice bag and reduce your heat to medium. Let it simmer for no longer than 2 hours! Make sure to continue to skim off the scum/foam off the top while simmering.

Once it's been up to 2 hours, you can remove everything besides the broth in the stock pot. I was lazy on stream and didn't put the broth through a mesh strainer but I did it off stream when I was packing the food away.

From here you are going to adjust seasoning to taste (chicken bouillon, fish sauce, sugar, salt, msg, if necessary).

Assemble a bowl of pho! Cook your noodles in boiling water for 10-45 seconds and then fluff it up in the bowl and then add your toppings. Pour your broth and enjoy!
