Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Best of the Bone Chicken Bone Broth Concentrate
- 750ml hot water
- 1 thumb ginger, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos (instead of soy)

- 1 cup shredded poached chicken (or rotisserie chicken)
- Bean sprouts
- Fresh coriander
- Spring onion, sliced
- Red chilli, sliced
- Lime wedges
Method
- In a pot, combine hot water and broth concentrate. Stir. That’s your base.
- Add ginger, garlic, star anise and cinnamon. Simmer for 10–15 minutes to build that classic pho aroma.
- Add fish sauce, coconut aminos and coconut sugar. Taste and adjust. You’re looking for balance, salty, slightly sweet, deeply savoury.
- Cook rice noodles separately. Drain and divide into bowls.
- Top with shredded poached chicken (or rotisserie chicken).
- Pour over hot broth.
- Finish with bean sprouts, herbs, chilli and lime. Bone-appetite.
