Chinese stock

Soup is important in the Chinese kitchen. No good soup without a good stock. Chinese soup is better not made with a western stock cube, try preparing a Chinese broth instead.Ā Chinese stock is lighter than Western stock. A comparatively small quantity of vegetables is used, just some spring onions and ginger. By the way: it seems that even for fish recipes meat stock is used.
There are some links in the recipe to the tips & tricks of broth making. There one can find descriptions of how to strain, reduce, cool and keep your broth. Because these actions are the same for all broths and stocks, this information is gathered on one page. On that page are also links to other recipes for stocks and soups.For 3 liter stock; preparation in advance 15 minutes; preparation 3 to 4 hours + concentrating and cooling.Chinese stock at the beginning of the cooking1 small or ½ large boiling hen (soup chicken) (3 pounds)
some bones of pork or chicken
25 gr (1 oz.) ginger root with peel, crushed
3 spring onions (scallions), bruised
1 tsp.Ā szechuan pepper corns, crushed
6 litres (6 quarts, or 1½ gallon) waterOptionally for a richer version
carcass of a duck, or hock or spare ribs

Preparation in advance

Rinse the bones, chop larger ones in two. Because the stock has to remain light in colour, the chicken is not roasted first as with some recipes forĀ western chicken stock. Put the bones in a pan with cold water, bring to the boil, then rinse them under cold running water.

Preparation

Put chicken and bones in a large soup pan, pour six litres/quarts of water over them, bring to the boil. Skim well, then add spring onions, ginger and pepper. Simmer uncovered for three to four hours (do not let it boil!) until reduced by about half.

Strain the stock, and reduce further to three litres/quarts if necessary, thenĀ let it cool quickly. Now you can freeze what you don’t need immediately.
Do not forget to label your frozen stock, in the freezer all stocks look alike.

Chicken meat that has been used for making stock is delicious. Use it in a ragoût or a salad, or make your cat happy.

Ingredients

Szechuan peper (Xanthoxylum piperitum)

ordinary black or white pepper can not be used as a xubatitute for this Chinese pepper as it has a different flavour. Szechuan pepper is often dry-roasted before use.
