The video was split into two parts, with the first section of the video showing how to prep the noodles. The chicken was prepared with a chicken broth along with ginger, peppercorn and coriander seeds to name a few ingredients.
The second half of the video showed how the soup itself is put together, with essential elements of pho such as bean sprouts and Thai basil.
