Phở gà

Combine ingredients for seasoning pouch in a small strainer or a pouch made from cheesecloth and twine.

In a large stock pot, boil broth ingredients together with seasoning pouch until the chicken is thoroughly cooked

Remove the chicken and strain broth back into the pot for additional simmering. Once the chicken is cool, pull apart the meat into bite sized pieces and discard bones.

In a separate pot, boil the "Pho" noodles in sufficient water. Stop when they're no longer chewy (basically the way you'd boil spaghetti). Make sure you don't overdo it or the noodles will fall apart and you'll end up with porridge. When done, pour the noodles into a colander and rinse them with lukewarm water. Then, leave them to drain.

Once the noodles have drained, add them to a bowl. Combine the chicken, "finishing touches" (see above), and enough broth to cover the noodles. Enjoy with fork (chopsticks if you want the authentic experience) and a spoon.
