Ingredients

  • 500 grams chicken bones (with a bit of meat remaining)
  • Water (as needed)
  • A few stalks of green onions (cut into large pieces)
  • 3 cm piece of ginger (crushed)

Instructions

  1. Boil Water:
    Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil.

  2. Add Ingredients:
    Once the water is boiling, add the chicken bones, green onions, and crushed ginger.

  3. Simmer and Skim:
    Allow the pot to remain uncovered while simmering. Occasionally, skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.

  4. Adjust Water Levels:
    As the water level decreases, replenish it with hot water (avoid using cold water to prevent altering the broth’s flavor). Continue this process until the broth has been simmering for approximately 2 hours.

  5. Final Touches:
    After about 2 hours, the broth should have a rich, golden color. Remove from heat and strain the broth to discard the solid ingredients.

Enjoy your homemade chicken broth as a flavorful base for soups, stews, and various dishes!
