Introduction
A comforting and classic Vietnamese Chicken Pho featuring a clear, aromatic broth infused with charred ginger, onion, cinnamon, and star anise. Gently simmering the whole chicken yields incredibly moist, tender chicken meat and a deeply flavorful soup base.
Step 1
Cut the onion and ginger in half with their skins still on.
Step 2
Place the onion and ginger face down in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Char the onion and ginger for at least 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop a deep dark color on all sides.
Step 4
Add the cinnamon stick and star anise to the dry pan, toasting them briefly until fragrant.
Step 5
Remove the onion and ginger from the pan. Peel off the first loose layer of charred onion skin, then cut the onion and ginger pieces in half again to release more juices.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Charring the onion and ginger is a crucial step to impart the signature sweet smoky flavor and beautiful color to the broth.
Gentle simmering is the key secret to keeping the chicken meat exceptionally moist and tender, while preventing the broth from becoming cloudy.
Prepare a bowl of water next to the stove to quickly clean your ladle when skimming off broth impurities.
Do not overcook the rice stick noodles, as they will quickly turn soggy.
