Ebi no pho(エビのフォー)

ebi = shrimp  pho topped shrimp = (Phở gà con tôm)

This is a healthy shrimp pho recipe.

I often make Tori ham, but the recipe doesn’t use chicken skin. So I freeze the leftover chicken skin.

If you add the leftover chicken skin to soups such as pho or minestrone and simmer it, the chicken essence will seep out and it will be very delicious.

(Chicken skin is high in fat and calories, so it is removed at the end.)

The color and aroma of shrimp, purple onion, and Cilantro(coriander) make the dish more beautiful and attractive.

It has a light taste and is low in fat, so it is also recommended for breakfast or a late-night snack.

About pho

Pho is a traditional Vietnamese dish that originated in northern Vietnam. (Pho is the name of the dish and also refers to flat noodles made from rice flour and water.)

This noodle dish is usually eaten as breakfast or a light meal in the evening. The main ingredients of pho are rice noodles, soup, and thinly sliced ​​beef or chicken.

It is eaten in various places in Vietnam, such as food stalls and restaurants, and spices such as soy sauce, pepper, lemon, fish sauce, and chili peppers are added according to the eater’s preferences.

The origin of pho is not officially recorded, but it is said to have originated in Hanoi in the north of Vietnam. It has been influenced by China and France.

Because Hanoi is close to China, it is seasoned with soy sauce and salt.

Also, pho soup is usually made by boiling beef bones. This is because the use of beef increased during the French colonial period. (It is said that O Quang Truong in Hanoi was a place to collect discarded beef bones.)

Basically, the only toppings for pho that are commonly eaten in Hanoi are beef and green onions. Ciantro (coriander) is a standard ingredient for pho and toppings, but it is rarely served together in Hanoi.

In contrast, in the south of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City uses soup with ethnic flavors that are sweet and sour. There is a wide variety of ingredients, and it is served with aromatic vegetables such as chives and ciantro (coriander) and chili peppers.

In other areas, there are phos made with wine sauce, spicy pho, stir-fried pho, sour pho, and pho with duck or roasted meat.

About pho soup

There are two main types of pho soup.

Phở bò is a beef-based soup, and Phở gà is a chicken-based soup.

Originally, the soup was made from stewed beef bones, but during the feudal era in Vietnam, there were restrictions on slaughtering cattle, so chicken pho developed.

The secret to the deliciousness of both soups is the amino acids that are released when beef or chicken is stewed. It seems that shrimp was sometimes used as a substitute for these.

I remove the shells before adding them to the soup, but if you want to bring out more flavor, it’s better to stew them with the shells on.

About fish sauce

This seasoning made by fermenting fish and shrimp is called Nampla (น้ำปลา) in Japan and Thailand, Nukumam (Nước mắm) in Vietnam, and Takutrei (ទឹកត្រី) in Cambodia.

It has a unique aroma and flavor. There are recipes that use soy sauce as a substitute, but we recommend using fish sauce here.

Here is the recipe for Gapao rice, a classic dish using fish sauce. 👉 Gapao rice(Thai Basil Stir-Fry )
