The Easy Chicken Broth My Dad's Made 100,000 Times

Learn how to make Easy Chicken Broth from a 2x James Beard Award Winning Chinese Chef with 60+ years of experience

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken bones & scraps
• 2 cup water (for blanching)
• 5 cup water (for broth)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Blanch (3 to 5 minutes): The main goal of this relatively quick step is to remove the scum from the bones and scraps. My dad (and most chefs) prefer a clear and clean broth as a soup base.
2. 2Simmer (25 to 30 minutes): The main goal of this step is to create the broth by allowing heat and time to extract flavors and nutrients from the bones and scraps.
