Chicken Pho
1. Slice the green parts of the scallions thinly and set aside a few tbsp. for serving. Cut the rest of the scallions into 2-inch long pieces, then smash/bruise with the flat side of your knife. Chop 2 tbsp. worth of cilantro and set aside for garnish. Set the remaining cilantro sprigs aside.
2. Heat a large stockpot over medium heat, then add the coriander seeds and toast until fragrant, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add ginger and the 2-inch green onion pieces. Stir for about 30 seconds, then gently add the broth, water, cilantro sprigs, chicken, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through.
3. Remove chicken from broth to cool slightly, then chop or shred. Set aside. Let the broth simmer without the chicken for another 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, soak your rice noodles in hot water according to the package directions. Drain, rinse, and set aside. After simmering, pour the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into another pot; Discard the leftover spices/ginger etc. Season broth with fish sauce and maple syrup.
5. Add in noodles and cooked chicken and serve with any desired accompaniments!
