About Pho ga

Pho Ga is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup featuring tender chicken, fragrant broth, and a medley of fresh herbs and spices. The dish begins with a slow-simmered broth made from chicken bones, infused with aromatic ingredients like ginger, star anise, and cinnamon. Rice noodles serve as the base, topped with slices of poached or shredded chicken. Fresh garnishes such as cilantro, Thai basil, scallions, lime, and bean sprouts add brightness and texture. Typically accompanied by chili peppers or hoisin sauce, Pho Ga offers customizable flavor and heat levels. Nutritionally, the dish is high in protein from the chicken and relatively low in fat, especially if prepared with minimal oils. The rice noodles provide a gluten-free carbohydrate source. However, sodium content can be high depending on the broth and seasonings used. With its balance of lean protein and fresh herbs, Pho Ga is both flavorful and nourishing, representing the vibrant essence of Vietnamese cuisine.
