  7. Now crush the Coriander or cilantro roots with the help of the back side of a knife and put it also into the soup pot.
  8. Then add crushed black pepper powder, salt and sugar into the soup pot. Mix all the Ingredients inside the soup pot.
  9. Now you can turn on the gas and make the flame high to boil the chicken. DO NOT COVER THE POT BEFORE BOIL STARTS.
  10. Once the boiling starts, remove the froth or dirt from the chicken stock with the help of a ladle.When all dirt has gone low the gas flame and cover the pot with a lid for 10 minutes.
  11. Just after 10 minutes open the pot lid and flip the Chicken to cook properly from both side. And in this stage add fish sauce into it. and again cover the lid of soup pot for another 10 minutes in low flame.
  12. After 10 minutes turn off the gas flame and remove the muslin cloth pouch from the soup pot with the help of a Tong.
MAKE THE RICE NOODLES PERFECTLY
  1. Take another pot.put water into it. Boil the water over the high heat.
  2. Once the water boils add rice noodles into it and spread all the rice noodles with the help of a tong evenly.So that all the noodles stay separate after cooking.
  3. Cook the noodles for jus 5 to 7-minute in high flame and very quickly remove the pot from the flame and strain the water with a sieve and wash the noodle very fast with the tap running water.when wash the noodles shake the sieve to remove all the extra starch.
  4. Now put the sieve over a fitted pan so that all the extra water drained from the noodles.

MAKE THE SPECIAL SAUCE FOR PHO SOUP
  1. Take a bowl to add chopped or sliced Red sweet chillies, vinegar, lime juice and salt and soy sauce into it and cover the mixture with a lid. IT WILL BE GOOD IF YOU MAKE THE SAUCE A DAY BEFORE OF PHO MAKING.SO THAT YOU WILL GET A VERY GOOD FLAVOUR FROM THE SAUCE.
  2. And now put some flavourful awesome broth into the bowl along with enough noodles and chicken pieces. Add few cilantro leaves and some chopped scallions on the side of the hot soup bowl. Then sprinkle the special sauce a little From the top the bowl, and then place pickled sweet and sour red chilli slices and a slice of lime one side of the bowl. Or decorate the bowl with ingredients of your choice
  3. Decorate the dish as simple as you can.LIke I did. The more things you will add the actual tastes of the dish can change a little.
Recipe Notes

TIPS FOR ANY PHO RECIPE

1. Always remove the dirt from the boiling broth to make smooth clean and clear broth.

2. Never try to cook any meat in very high flame. boil the meat slowly so all the flavours of spices and other ingredients will absorb by the meat evenly and meat will be more delicious after cooking.

3. If you are using any Red meat like beef or lamb for the dish use boneless slice pieces to make the broth along with bone marrow.

4. Wash the chard veggies to remove extra blankness otherwise, the broth will turn black in colour after you add the chard ingredients.
