Chicken…

The other day, I blogged about the Vietnamese flat rice noodles, the beef-flavoured one or as they call it, the phở bò and I did mention that there is also the phở gà, the chicken version of the same…

I took a packet to try that day and it is the same inside – the noodles and the three sachets…

…and yes, I did check and found out that the tương ớt in the red sachet was indeed chili sauce.

I boiled some water with a few Thai basil leaves from my garden thrown in and then I added the noodles and the contents of the three sachets. Once done, I poured everything into a bowl…

You can see the bits of meat that came in the big sachet and I also added one fried drummet, left over from what my missus cooked for dinner the previous day. I also boiled an egg, with the egg yolk still runny but it was not all that successful as I think the egg was too fresh and I had a hard time peeling it. In the end, it certainly wasn’t a sight to behold.

I added a bit of my missus’ blended chili & garlic, sprinkled a bit of chopped spring onion from my garden and there you have it!…

I would say it was very nice but I can’t make a comparison between this one and the beef-flavoured one just like that. I remember that was very nice too but I guess unless I eat both together, I would not be able to tell the subtle differences between the two of them.
