Discard parboiled bones.Place whole chicken into the pot and simmer until no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).Combine onion and ginger in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Drain.Peel skin off of the cooled chicken; discard skin and bones, reserving the meat.Serve noodles in bowls topped with chicken meat and broth. Garnish with bean sprouts, green onion, cilantro, and Thai basil. Squeeze a wedge of lime into each bowl.If serving with bean thread instead of rice noodles, boil the noodles for 7 minutes, then rinse under cold water and strain.Info | Mrs Pho House Menuprep:
