Y’ALL THEY ARE OPEN AGAIN! I was PHO-real when I said I wanted some noodz.. Everybody needs this tasty chicken pho (pho ga) to get through the week. One of my favorite spots is Quan Ngon in the sunset district of SF! The soup base is packed with flavor and fits my heavy tastebuds perfectly! Adding just a bit of lime juice and a generous scoop of their house-made chili spices things up even more 😛🍜🌶 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #pho #phoga #chickenpho #vietnamese #vietnamesefood #noodles #noodsnoodsnoods #noodlesoup #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscoeats #sanfranciscofood #sanfranciscofood #sanfranciscofoodie #sf #sfeats #sffoodie #sffood #bayarea #bayareaeats #bayareafood #bayareafoodie #eeeeeats #tastingtable #foodstagram #foodiesofinstagram #foodphotography #foodblog #asian #viet #foodgasm #foodheaven

Instructions:

Heat the oil in a pan, and start cooking the ginger with the onions for a few minutes. Cut the chicken into four pieces. Cook it in a pot together with spices, ginger, onions, salt, and fish sauce. When the water starts boiling, you can let it simmer for about 25 minutes. Once the chicken is done you can take it out of the water and divide it into small pieces.

Combine the broth and the bones, let them simmer for 25 to 60 minutes. Do not let it simmer. While you’re waiting, you can cook the noodles. Take out the bones from the broth and you can mix the noodles with the chicken, broth, mung beans, carrot, fresh chili, and fresh herbs. Top everything off with chili sauce and lime wedges.
