Copied from my Weekend Thread...
Mike... KCMike... this is ridiculous.
I'll be honest that I made a couple of tweaks, so bear with me.
The broth went in the pot and I added in some shaved onion that had been soaked in water for 30 minutes (IAW another recipe). I added in the Saigon 21, pretty much to your directions.
As I had broth instead of stock, I added in a couple of iced tea spoons worth of bacon grease from our jar for richness. I brought it all to a boil while I started on the noodles.
Tasted the soup and it wasn't "chicken-y" enough... so I added in 2 x iced tea spoons (yes, the same one from the bacon grease) of Chicken Better Than, Better Than Boullion to the pot. Slow boiled for about another 10 minutes. Yahtzee!
Built my daughter's bowl.
- Rice noodles
- Shredded Saigon 21 Chicken
- Chiffonaded Basil and Cilantro
- Ladled in soup to cover.
My turn.
Same as above, but with the Saigon 21 + HDD chicken with 6 slices of jalapeño.
Whole family has been crushing their bowls, and I devoured everything down to just the jalapeños in mine.
I would put this Pho up against most any in the city... and that's saying something as there are hundreds of Pho Shops in ABQ!
Killer, Mike! Thank you so much!
