  Boiled Chicken

  You add 1 liter of water to the pot along with lemongrass, ginger, and roasted onion, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and then cook on the stove at medium heat for about 5 – 7 minutes.

  When the water begins to simmer, you add the marinated chicken to the pot and cover the lid to cook for 30 minutes until the chicken is evenly cooked.

  When the chicken is cooked, you take it out and immediately place it in a bowl of ice water and leave it until the chicken cools completely before taking it out.

  Next, you strain the chicken broth through a sieve to remove the lemongrass, onion, and ginger, keeping only the broth to later cook rice and soup according to your preference!
