Homemade Chicken Stock

When it comes to Homemade Chicken Stock, I am a firm believer that less is more—all you really need is a stewing chicken (stewing hen), which is superior for making chicken stock, some ginger, and water. If you can’t find stewing chicken, regular chicken will work nearly as well.

Even though I prefer Homemade Chicken Stock, I also use canned chicken broth in my Chinese cooking. It’s a convenient substitute and delivers satisfactory results.
