Speedy Vietnamese Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Place the rice noodles in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with warm water and soak for 20 minutes, until softened.
• While the noodles are soaking, heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Toast the black peppercorns, coriander seeds, and star anise pods for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
• While the seeds are toasting, peel the ginger and cut into pieces. Trim the ends off the green onions, then chop 5 inches off the bases and save the remaining green tops for later.
• Add the ginger and green onion bases to the pot and cook for 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
• Add the water, chicken broth, and chicken breasts. Increase the heat to high, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 more minutes, then check the chicken every minute until cooked through. Remove from the heat.
• While the broth heats up, thinly slice the green onion tops. Cut the lime into wedges. Thinly slice the jalapeño.
• After 20 minutes of soaking, drain the rice noodles, then return to the bowl.
• Remove the chicken from the broth.
• Strain the broth over the noodles. Pour the noodles and broth back into the pot over high heat, then add the fish sauce. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
• Shred the chicken.
• Divide the noodles between four serving bowls and top with the shredded chicken, jalapeño, bean sprouts, and Thai basil. Ladle the hot pho broth over the noodles. Add a squeeze of lime, green onions, and any other favorite toppings.
• Enjoy!
