Hainan Chicken Soup

submitted by chuah
from New Zealand

1 Chicken (~ 1.5Kg)
3 litres of water
4 Tbsp of cooking oil (Tbsp = table spoon)
enough rice to feed yourself and your guests.
3 cloves garlic (chopped)
3 large onions
1 thumb sized piece of ginger
chilies to taste
vinegar to taste
soy sauce to taste
salt & pepper to taste
vegetables for the soup

Bring the 3 litres of water to a boil. You will need a container large
enough for the water and (whole) chicken. When the water boils, put in
the chicken. Let it simmer until the chicken floats to the surface
(1/2 hour). DO NOT let the water boil briskly. Allow only a slow simmer.
Also, simmer without the lid. This will make the chicken tender.
Fry the garlic in oil until light brown. Use the soup (from cooking the
chicken) to cook the rice. Add in the garlic oil, pepper and salt.
With remaining soup add the vegetables (optional) and the (whole) onions.
Grind the ginger to a paste. Grind the chilies to a paste and add
vinegar.
