Ingrédients
  • 1 large onion, cut into fourths
  • 1 medium-sized ginger piece, sliced
  • 5 star anise
  • 5 cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 5 peppercorns
  • 1 whole chicken (you can use just thighs, drumsticks, or any other part but bone in is key for flavor)
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 ½ tbsp. chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 ½ tbsp. rock sugar
  • 2 tbsp. fish sauce
  • 24 oz. rice noodles
  • 2 medium-sized ginger pieces, minced
  • 2 tbsp. green onions, finely sliced, plus more for serving
  • 3 tbsp. neutral oil
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • ½ tsp. garlic salt
  • 1 onion, finely sliced, for serving
  • Cilantro, for serving
  • Lime, cut into wedges, for serving
Instructions
  • Slice the onion into fourths and char in a pan with sliced ginger. Toast the star anise, cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and peppercorns.
  • Throw the charred onions and ginger, toasted spices, and whole chicken into your Instant Pot. Fill with water, making sure the chicken is submerged. Add the chicken bouillon powder and rock sugar. Pressure Cook on High for 20 minutes.
  • Naturally release the steam for 10 minutes and skim off the fat rendered from the chicken. Season with fish sauce, using it sparingly—too much will darken the soup, which isn’t ideal. If the soup needs more savoriness, add a bit more chicken bouillon powder instead.
  • To make the ginger garlic scallion sauce, mince the ginger and finely slice the green onions. Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan and fry the ginger and green onions for 30 seconds until tender. Season with garlic salt and add sesame oil.
  • In a separate pot, prepare the rice noodles according to the instructions on the package. Add the noodles to the soup, and top off with green onions, cilantro, onions, and lime. Enjoy!
