Most Asian meals have high histamine ingredients such as fish, oyster, soy or chilli sauce. They also use a lot of higher histamine vegetables like capsicum and chilli. This recipe gives me a delicious low histamine fix when I’m craving Pho. I make this dish regularly for lunch as its so quick and easy.
Brown rice noodles are fairly easy to find in the stores, yummy and add a little more fibre to the dish than the white noodles shown in the recipe below. If your chicken is frozen you may need to cook a little longer. I keep shredded chicken in the freezer and just grab a palm sized handful per person and throw it in. It will defrost and heat up in a few minutes. You can use the low histamine chicken broth for this recipe. Freeze your broth in single use containers (I use 365ml jam jars) and you can throw this dish together in minutes.
