I have mentioned Pho Soup in the past but haven't written out the recipe yet. It's a dish best served fresh and I usually serve it on the fly.I seriously love certain Vietnamese restaurants in my City, and I have done my best to mimic the tastes of my favourites. This is close. If you have pre-cooked Chicken and Fresh Vegetables, it's easy to make. I just told a friend how to make my version and now it's time to get it posted.
You start with the broth, par boil the vegetables and blanch them.
Pho Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients - 2 Bowls
1 Quart Chicken Stock
1 TBSP Chilli Garlic Sauce
1 Lemon Grass Stalk
1/4 TSP Fish Sauce
1 Large Carrot
1/4 of a Broccoli Crown (1 Cup)
1/2 Cup Chopped Chicken Meat (Pre-cooked)
2 "Nests" of Rice Vermicelli (1 per bowl)
Chopped Peanuts or Cashews to dress the bowl
2 Sprigs of Cilantro
1/4 TSP Salt (If you use store bought broth - check Salt contents.)
Steps
Bring these ingredients to a boil. Quart Chicken Stock, Chilli Garlic Sauce, Fish Sauce.
With a Mallet or the sharp edge of a can, break the Lemon Grass stalk bulb and add to the Stock mix.
Clean and slice the Carrot, add to the stock and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Roughly chop the Broccoli add to the stock and cook 5 minutes more.
Remove from broth, blanche in cold water and place aside until ready to serve. You can continue to let the Lemon Grass stalk cook but remove prior to serving.
This is easy. Either keep the broth to a hot temperature or store until ready to serve and re-heat.
This is important, the broth should be hot.
Add a Nest of Rice to each bowl, your vegetables and Chicken pour the HOT broth over all the ingredients, making sure the rice noodles are submerged.Stir a few times with chop sticks. Serve when Noodles are soft. Dressed with Cashews and Cilantro. Optionally, use Diced Green Chives as well.
Done and delicious. You can serve condiments such as Hoisin Sauce and additional Chilli Garlic sauce as a side. Some folks like theirs a little spicier.
Add Spring Rolls if you wish too, if you are looking for something a bit more restaurant style.
