By gatti fili e farina (Visit website)





The October 2009 Daring Cooks? challenge was brought to us by Jaden of the blog Steamy Kitchen. The recipes are from her new cookbook, The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook.

This month we traveled to Vietnam thanks to Jaden of Steamy Kitchen. It was a wonderful recipe even if I never tried the real thing ! The stock was such a perfumed pleasure to prepare and i'm so happy I saved half of it for future use !I used the long recipe that is in Jaden's blog. The following recipe is the one in her book.

Directions:

To make the Chicken Pho Broth: heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the coriander seeds, cloves and star anise and toast until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Immediately spoon out the spices to avoid burning.In a large pot, add all the ingredients (including the toasted spices) and bring to a boil.Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 20 minutes, skimming the surface frequently.Use tongs to remove the chicken breasts and shred the meat with your fingers, discarding the bone if you have used bone-in breasts.Taste the broth and add more fish sauce or sugar, if needed. Strain the broth and discard the solids.Prepare the noodles as per directions on the package.Ladle the broth into bowls. Then divide the shredded chicken breast and the soft noodles evenly into each bowl.Have the accompaniments spread out on the table. Each person can customize their own bowl with these ingredients.
