If you have an Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker, you can easily make pho right at home - perfect for our current winter weather.
This version is the basic plain chicken pho. Depending on every individual you can keep pho basic or garnish your pho for a more authentic bowl - includes: scallion, mung bean sprouts, thai basil, lime, jalapeño chiles, cilantro, mint, lime/lemon, hard boiled quail eggs, and so forth. Optional dipping sauce or sauce for your pho: hoisin sauce and sriracha.
Prep Time: 5-10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 40-45 minutes
Yield: 4 bowls
Ingredients:
- 1 3-4 lb whole chicken
- 2 yellow sweet onion
- 3" piece ginger
- 1 package rice noodles
- 8 cups water
- 2 Tbsp fish sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- lemon/lime
- 8 cloves
- 1 Tbsp coriander seeds
- 5 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- scallion
Steps:
- Over medium heat sauté spices for a few minutes (you can actually do all these steps directly in the instant pot).
- Add a dash of oil to pan. Char halved onions and sliced ginger pieces.
- Add everything (chicken, onions, ginger, spices, fish sauce, salt, brown sugar and water) into your instant pot.*
- Use the manual button and set your instant pot to cook for 14 minutes with high pressure. Once finished, allow instant pot to naturally release; about 20 minutes.
- This is what your chicken broth will look like when completed cooking. Skim any scum and strain broth so it is clear.
- Take chicken out and shred.
- I wanted non-traditional pho noodle (thick rice noodle) so I shredded the noodles from the package and then added shredded chicken and topped off with the broth. Dice some scallions for finishing touches and ready to eat!
*Optional: You can use a spice bag for your spices, but I will strain the broth after cooking for an extra clear broth!
