Instructions

STOVE TOP INSTRUCTIONS:
*If using skin-on chicken thighs, please see notes. Heat oil in a big pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, celery, garlic and ginger and saute until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Lower heat to med- low and continue sauteeing until golden, 3-4 more minutes.
  • 1 - 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 large Onion
    diced (or sub 2 fat shallots, or two leeks)
  • 1 cup Celery
    chopped
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Ginger
    chopped
  • 4 - 8 Garlic Cloves
    rough chopped (I like 8)
Add the chicken stock, water, salt, white pepper, bay leaves and skinless chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover, and lower heat so it’s gently simmering, covered for 20 mintues. If using breasts, check at 15. Bone-in thighs may take 25-30.
  • 4 cup Chicken Broth Or Stock
  • 2 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 0.25 teaspoon White Pepper
    (or use black pepper)
  • 1.5 lb Chicken Thighs, Boneless, Skinless
    ( or use breasts-if very large, cut in half) or bone-in chicken thighs, please see notes )
Test a piece of chicken for doneness by pulling meat apart with two forks. It should come apart easily and look opaque. When done, shred the rest of the chicken, then return to the pot and simmer gently for 5 more minutes.
Squeeze with lemon, taste, and adjust broth. You can add more salt of needed, or if too salty for your taste, water down with a little water. I prefer ours salty, lemony, and unctuous, especially if adding a starch (like rice, noodles or beans) which will temper the salt quite a bit. Up to you. If the soup tastes bland, it needs salt.
  • 2 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Lemon Juice
    to taste
Ladle it over cooked rice or noodles or just on its own.
Garnish with scallions or cilantro (or both) and a drizzle of sesame oil if you like and chili flakes (or chili paste or sriracha).
  • Chili Flakes
    pinch
  • Scallions, Cilantro Or Italian Parsley
  • Toasted Sesame Oil
    a drizzle (optional, tasty)
