How to make Hanoi-style chicken pho
In chilly weather, Hanoi chicken pho emerges as a seasonal choice with its tender meat, crunchy skin, and savory broth.
This recipe serves about 6 to 8 people, takes approximately 120 minutes to prepare, and provides around 3,530 calories.
Ingredients
– A whole chicken (about 2 kg)
– 2 chicken bone sets
– 30 ml Vietnamese rice wine
– Shallots, one onion, ginger, coriander roots, scallion roots, coriander seeds
– Seasoning: fish sauce, salt, rock sugar
– Herbs: scallions, coriander, lime leaves
– Pho noodles
– Garlic vinegar, lime, chili
Instruction
1. Preparation
– If possible, select hens that have laid 1-2 clutches. This is often considered because hens that have laid eggs typically yield meat with a more flavorful and richer texture when compared to younger chickens.
– Massage the chicken with lime juice, salt, rice wine, or crushed ginger to eliminate any undesirable odors.
– Wash the chicken thoroughly with water.

To elevate the richness of the dish, you can consider adding a set of chicken intestine and chicken ovaries. These small eggs are known for being soft and runny.

– Roast coriander seeds until fragrant.
– Wash onion roots and coriander roots.
– Place shallots, ginger, and coriander seeds in a cloth or sealed filter bag.
– Add the bag to the pot for stewing the broth. Set aside the grilled onions for later use.
