Ingredients

Procedure

Preparation

Cut chicken to fit your stock pot.

Place the chicken in a clean sink, large pot, bucket, or other container.

Add ice cold water until chicken is covered and soak for about one hour.

Drain.

Cut peeled garlic in half from top to bottom.

Cut the green onion where the green pales into the white. Cut the white portion in half lengthwise. (Reserve the green for other uses)

Cut the ginger (and daikon) in roughly 1/8 inch thick slices.

Bring three quarts of water to a full rolling boil over high heat.

Add chicken, return to a full boil, and boil for about two minutes.

Remove from heat, pour off the boil water, and rinse chicken in cold water.

Cook

Place the chicken into the stock pot and add 3 quarts fresh water.

Add ginger slices.

Bring to a full boil and cook for 10 minutes.

Skim foam as needed.

Reduce heat to medium low, add the rest of the ingredients (and Dasima if used), cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.

Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool.

Remove the meat from the bones and reserve both (bones AND meat) for later use.

Strain the broth through a cheesecloth lined sieve, and discard the collected solids.

Store the broth for up to one week in the refrigerator, or freeze for later use.
