Vietnamese food is famous for being fresh, flavorful, and full of variety. If you're following a dairy-free diet due to allergies, lactose intolerance, or personal choice, you might wonder if it's safe to enjoy Vietnamese cuisine. The good news is that traditional Vietnamese cooking uses very little dairy, making it a great choice for people avoiding milk-based products.
Phở Gà (pronounced “fuh gah”) is Vietnam’s version of chicken noodle soup—and it’s just as comforting as it sounds. Unlike the more commonly known beef phở (phở bò), this variation features a lighter broth made from chicken bones and fragrant aromatics like ginger, onions, and spices. It’s a popular dish for breakfast in Vietnam but delicious at any time of day.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to make a satisfying bowl of phở gà at home. No fancy equipment or professional skills needed—just good ingredients, some patience, and a love for tasty food.
