Preparation / Directions:
In a large pot over high heat, combine 5 cups stock, ginger root, gralic,
lemon slice, anise, coriander, cumin and peppercorns. Bring mixture to a
boil, lower heat and simmer, covered, 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine remaining 1/2 cup stock and chicken
pieces. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Lower heat and gently
poach chicken, covered, 2-3 minutes, or until pieces are just cooked through.
Turn out chicken into colan
der, discarding stock. Rinse chicken to remove any scum, and drain.
Strain the simmered broth-herb mixture through a very fine sieve, discarding
seasoning ingredients. Rinse out large pot and return strained stock to it. Add green onions. Simmer 2 minutes. Add chicken and simmer 1 additional
minute.
May be garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.
