subheading: What is Yellow Rock Sugar 黃冰糖?:

Yellow Rock Sugar 黃冰糖 are irregular hard lumps of crystallized sugar made from unprocessed sugar cane. They’re not the same as White Rock Sugar.

It’s commonly used in Chinese cuisine for making marinades, sauces, soups, traditional Chinese medicine, dessert soups, and in tea.

Since Yellow Rock Sugar is not as sweet as white sugar, it works well to balance flavors in Chicken Pho’s delicate broth by imparting a mild sweetness.

Where to Buy it? You can find them in Asian supermarkets or Amazon

Lung Po Rock crystals Sugar (Yellow Lump Raw Cane Sugar) 16oz x3pk

subheading: Lung Po - Misc.:

note: Fun Tidbit: When I was a kid, I often sneaked in the kitchen to hunt for hidden chocolate or candies. If I couldn’t find any snacks to satisfy my sweet cravings, my last resort would always be the Yellow Rock Sugar in the yellow paper box wrapped with cellophane. hehe~ I would make my way through the huge hard lumps to find some tiny ones I can suck on.

subheading: What is Free Range Chicken?:

Free Range Chickens have been raised in farms that let them freely roam outdoors (for at least part of the day), rather than being locked in cages.

Why Free Range Chickens? They are more firm, flavorful, and have a better mouthfeel.

note: Pro Tip: The chicken is the soul of Chicken Pho. So the chicken’s quality makes a world of difference in making this Pho Ga. If you wish is to make a yummy bowl of Pho Ga, it’s essential to buy a high quality chicken!!

We highly recommend using Free Range Chickens because they have better texture & stronger chicken flavors to impart into the Chicken broth. But if you don’t have access to Free Range Chickens, regular chickens will also work.
