Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the chicken bones thoroughly under cold water to remove any impurities and blood.

Peel the ginger and slice it into thin pieces. Cut the spring onions into halves. Crush the garlic cloves with the side of a knife.

Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 90 minutes.
Step 7
After 90 minutes, add the salt and soy sauce. Adjust seasoning according to taste.
Step 8
Continue simmering for another 30 minutes to infuse all flavors together.
Step 9
Strain the broth using a fine mesh sieve to remove solid ingredients and impurities, leaving you with a clear broth.
