Preparation
Preparing the Broth
Char onion and ginger
Char the onion and ginger by placing them under a broiler until slightly blackened.
Simmer chicken
In a large pot, combine the chicken, charred onion, ginger, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Adding chicken bones enhances the broth’s richness.
Skim broth
Skim the broth regularly to remove impurities that rise to the surface.
Preparing the Aromatics
Toast aromatics
In a dry pan, toast the cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves, and coriander seeds over medium heat until fragrant.
Toasting the spices before adding them to the broth deepens their flavors and enhances the overall aroma.
Add to broth
Add the aromatics to the simmering broth.
Season and simmer
Season the broth with fish sauce, salt, and sugar. Let simmer for at least 1 hour.
Ensure you strain the broth well to remove all traces of bones and spices.
