The broth of chicken pho is typically lighter and clearer compared to beef pho. Other ingredients used in this dish include ginger, fish sauce, shallots, green onions, coriander, lime leaves, and rice noodles.
It is believed that this chicken pho dish first appeared around the 1930s when beef was in short supply in northern Vietnam.
Ranked 23rd, sweet glutinous rice dumplings captivates diners with its sweet, fragrant flavor, featuring dumplings cooked in a syrup made from palm sugar and ginger. The soft, chewy rice dumplings are filled with a smooth mung bean paste.

The chicken is cleaned, rubbed with salt, and then boiled whole in water with added ginger, shallots, and turmeric for a bright yellow, shiny skin. A perfectly boiled chicken is judged by its intact skin and non-bruised meat.
After boiling, the chicken is cut into pieces, garnished with lime leaves, and served with a dipping sauce made of salt and lime. Boiled chicken symbolizes prosperity and is often eaten with sticky rice.
