Kenji's 30-Minute Pressure Cooker Pho Ga Recipe from Serious Eats
Kenji/Serious Eats – 30-Min Pressure Cooker Pho Ga
I discovered that a pressure cooker transforms making Vietnamese chicken noodle soup into a quick 30-minute meal, even at high altitudes. This method delivers fall-off-the-bone tender chicken and a rich, clear broth without the need for hours of simmering or constant skimming. By trapping steam, the electric pressure cooker ensures consistent results regardless of location, allowing me to prepare a comforting bowl of pho ga efficiently while working away from home.
You could cook in the near vacuum of Mars' atmosphere with an electric pressure cooker and your soup would come out just fine.

Interesting to see this posted, as it's quite an old recipe (the oldest capture I could find on the Wayback Machine was from 2015 although I'm pretty confident it's older than that; as an aside, can I say how annoying it is when websites only have an "updated on" or "edited on" date and not a date for when it was originally written?). It's also one of my favorites of Kenji's though and a regular in our home.
I think that Kenji's series of pressure cooker recipes are probably my favorites of everything he did when he was doing The Food Lab section. Almost every recipe is fantastic and they are mostly pretty easy. If I had to pick my single favorite, it would probably be the pressure cooker chicken enchilads [0], although that one is on the higher end of the effort spectrum

In a similar vein, Chris Young has a fantastic video on making world class chicken stock in 60 minutes using a pressure cooker: https://youtube.com/watch?v=3k20zFlbFfE.

Just learned about Kenji by finding his "The Best Chili Ever" recipe [0] through Reddit and immediately his another recipe appears on HN. Baader-Meinhof strikes again.

I’ve recently discovered Galbitang and despite being far less popular, I much prefer it over pho. We make it in a pressure cooker as well and love how easy it is!
