Steps

60 minutes

1

Rub the chicken with salt and rinse well. Parboil the chicken bones, then rinse clean. Bring 7 quarts (7 liters) of water to a boil, then add the chicken and bones. Add salt, sugar, and MSG (if using). Add a little turmeric powder for color, and add the grilled onions and ginger for extra flavor.
2

Simmer the chicken for about 20-25 minutes over medium heat, making sure it doesn't boil too hard. Turn off the heat, cover, and let the chicken continue to cook in the hot broth for about 1 hour. Remove the chicken, rinse with cold water, and let cool before slicing or chopping so the meat stays intact and looks nice. (If using a smaller chicken, reduce the cooking time.)
3

After removing the chicken, add more cold water to the pot to bring it back up to 7 quarts (7 liters). Bring the broth to a boil, skim off any foam for a clear broth, and adjust seasoning to taste. Dip the pho noodles briefly in boiling water, then add sliced chicken, green onions, herbs, cilantro, and thinly sliced lime leaves. Ladle the hot broth over the top.
