Ingredients

  • 1 bird worth Chicken stock
  • 1200 ml Water
  • 90 ml Uncooked white rice
  • 1 Japanese leek
  • 1/2 piece a thumbtip Ginger
  • 1 hakata style mizutaki hot pot (A recipe using this white soup:)
  • 1 rich white chicken soup ramen (Another recipe using this white soup:)

Method

  • Boil the chicken bones briefly, and wash any bloody brown bits under running water to eliminate gaminess.
  • Chop the leek into 5 cm pieces.
  • Slice the ginger thinly.
  • Put water, the parboiled and cleaned chicken, leek and ginger in a pot.
  • Add uncooked rice and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Watch the pan so that it doesn't boil over.
  • If any scum rises to the surface, skim it off.
  • Turn the heat down to low, cover with a lid and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
  • Put the soup into a food processor or blender in several batches, chicken, leek, ginger and all, and process until the chicken is finely chopped.
  • Return the chopped chicken to the soup.
  • Strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve 2 to 3 times, and it's done.
  • The completed soup is not seasoned.
  • Use it for mizutaki hot pot or ramen.
  • We make this with a Thermos Shuttle Chef.
  • If you have a pressure cooker, you should be able to make this soup even faster.
