Faux Pho

March 13, 2018

Pho is in my top 5 favorite foods ever. I literally dream about this soup. It’s pronounced, fuh. Not fo or fa. The traditional preparation calls for simmering bones with herbs and spices for a long time. This is the quick and just as delicious version! The dish’s full name is pho ga (fuh-ga, see you got it!), meaning chicken pho. Sometimes it’s made with beef, pho bo, but I like this version better. This Vietnamese soup is perfect on a cool night and is hearty, aromatic and so delicious! The flavors are so unique and come together perfectly. I make the pho broth in bulk and freeze it in individual containers for easy one -person meals!

  • Bring back to a boil and add rice noodles. Cook according to directions. If you’re making the stock in bulk to freeze, do not add noodles. Add them when you reheat the stock, right before eating.
