Chicken Pho with Shiitake powder (Pho Ga)

The Vietnamese dish pho tastes even better with Shiitake powder! Do try it out! Soak Shiitake powder beforehand to save money and increase the Umami taste! Instead of 1 Tbsp of Shiitake powder, you can use 1 tsp of Shiitake powder that has been soaked in water for 10 minutes beforehand to add more Umami and flavor to the dish. The drying and rehydrating process of Shiitake produces Guanylate, which boosts the Umami taste of other ingredients. Marinade the chicken with salt and sugar so that it stays moist and firm.
