Quick and Easy way to make delicious Chicken and Rice Noodles (Pho Ga Kho)

Who doesn’t love Chicken Noodles or Pho Ga. I have a killer recipe to make the traditional Pho Ga chicken noodles soup with Instant Pot. But this version is a “dry” Pho Ga or Chicken and Rice Noodles, without broth. It’s quick, easy and so satisfying!

It starts with a store-bought Rotisserie Chicken, and I’ll share my hack to make a quick and tasty sauce!

All the ingredients are available from most supermarkets or could be ordered on-line, scroll down for more information.

It’s a perfect dish for a busy weeknight dinner as it can be put together in about half an hour, and is really delicious…
