Chicken Pho (Pho ga) recipe

About Chicken Pho (Phở gà)

Phở (noodle soup) has appeared in Vietnamese for more than 100 years. Many people still believe that noodles originated from China, but many Vietnamese culinary culture studies confirmed "Vietnamese noodle is totally different." Mr. Didier Corlou said: "Pho is sure to be of Vietnam whether there is some influence of the West." Nam Dinh is the home town of Pho but Hanoi is place that Pho becomes population and famous all over the world.

Many people think “ Pho Hanoi? Of course it’s Pho Bo ( Beef Pho )”. Pho Bo is very very delicious, I also love it but you don’t miss chance to taste Pho Ga ( chicken pho ). What is the differences? The broth, main ingredient is chicken not beef and the most important is the chicken in Vietnam not like anywhere in our world. You can find some Pho Ga restaurants in your country, but I am sure that you can not find the taste as in Vietnam!
