Pho Ga (Chicken Pho) with Crispy Shallots

In small non-stick skillet heat oil on medium heat; cook shallots and garlic until caramelized and golden brown, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan combine lemongrass, ginger, sugar, fish sauce and Pho broth. Cover with a lid and bring to a very gentle simmer. Add chicken and continue to simmer very gently for about 15 minutes

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Rinse well under cold water to prevent sticking and divide between 4 bowls.

Remove the cooked chicken from the soup and slice. Arrange over noodles with cooked shallots, carrots, and peas.

Strain soup through sieve into a large measuring cup. Pour over noodles in bowls. Top each with mint, cilantro and chilies. Serve with lime wedges.
