Pho Ga, like its beef counterpart Pho Bo, evolved in the early 20th century in northern Vietnam. Influenced by French colonial cuisine (particularly pot-au-feu) and Chinese noodle soups, Pho was initially a beef-based dish. Pho Ga emerged later as a variation, offering a lighter alternative that became especially popular after restrictions on beef consumption were introduced at times.

Pho Ga features a delicate and aromatic broth infused with chicken, ginger, and spices. It is known for its savory, slightly sweet, and clean flavors.
The broth is traditionally made by simmering chicken bones (and sometimes whole chicken) with ginger, roasted onion, star anise, cloves, cinnamon, and coriander seeds. This creates a clear, flavorful broth with a subtle sweetness and warming spice notes. The chicken meat, usually shredded or sliced, adds richness. Fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, and Thai basil contribute freshness and aroma, while lime juice adds acidity. Fish sauce is used sparingly to enhance the savory umami flavor. Chilies or chili sauce provide a spicy kick if desired. The rice noodles are flat and wide, providing a satisfying texture.
Funzionalità Premium
Broth Clarity
To achieve a clear broth, parboil the chicken bones first and discard the initial water. This removes impurities that can cloud the broth.
Spice Balance
Toast the spices lightly before adding them to the broth to enhance their aroma and flavor. Be careful not to overdo it, as some spices can become bitter if burnt.
Fresh Herbs
Don't skimp on the fresh herbs! They are essential for adding brightness and complexity to the dish. Offer a variety of herbs so diners can customize their bowls.
Noodle Quality
Use fresh, high-quality rice noodles for the best texture and flavor.
