Chicken pho the Old Quarter way
Bếp Kinh Kỳ cooks chicken pho from a Hanoi recipe, the way it is done in the Old Quarter: the broth simmers for hours every day, clear and light, with no pre-mixed seasoning powder. Each bowl comes with herbs, lime and a small dish of chili sauce.
The restaurant sells only two dishes, Phở Gà and Bún Thang, and the kitchen cooks for those two.
Choosing the chicken cut
Chicken pho is sold by cut: breast (Lườn), wing and back (Cánh/Lưng), thigh (Đùi) and Special (Đặc Biệt). Breast is lean meat. Wing and back have skin and tendon, with some chew. Thigh is usually softer and richer. No cut is better than another, so choose by taste.
Phở gà nước or phở gà trộn
Phở gà nước is the familiar bowl: noodles, chicken and hot broth poured over. Phở gà trộn is the mixed version: the noodles are tossed with fresh herbs and roasted peanuts, and the broth is served in a separate bowl. The restaurant makes both.
