Mama Miche's Lazy Phở
This is Mama Miche, and today in My Magic Kitchen: Chicken Pho
Chicken Pho is one of those dishes people are intimidated to make at home — and I get it. Traditionally, it’s a slow, patient process built over hours. But here’s the truth: technique matters more than time.
By toasting your spices, layering aromatics properly, and letting pressure do the heavy lifting, you get a broth that tastes intentional — not rushed.
This version honors the flavor profile without demanding your entire day. It’s weeknight-friendly, deeply comforting, and endlessly customizable. Add extra herbs. Turn up the heat. Keep it clean and classic. It’s your bowl.
Once you realize you can make pho this good in your own kitchen, you stop waiting for takeout to satisfy the craving.
And that’s the goal — confidence and control in your own kitchen.
