I drain the soaked rice in the morning. Then, I combine rice and all other ingredients in my electric lunch box and steam-cook for about 50 minutes. For the chicken stock, I use enough to cover the ingredients. See below.

How to make homemade chicken stock
Ingredients:
(Makes 40oz or almost 1.2L)
4 meaty skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
4L water
1 large onion, quartered
4L water
1 large onion, quartered
2 cups celery, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon cardamom pods
1 tablespoon cardamom pods
2 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
12 whole cloves
4 bay leaves
12 whole cloves
4 bay leaves
Combine all ingredients in a large stockpot and boil gently for 2 hours. Strain the stock through a colander to separate the ingredients from the stock. Allow to cool to room temperature. Remove the surface fat and pour into containers and freeze. I use my expired Bumblebee milk storage bottles to freeze the chicken stock. :)
Stir everything with a spoon, add a drizzle of virgin coconut oil, and pack in a good thermal food jar to bring to the babysitter for my 20mo boy's lunch. :)

DeleteHi Joyce,
ReplyDeleteI admire your effort of making your own chicken stock. Shame on me that I didn't do that :p

Ready-packed chicken stock costs quite a lot here. That's why I make my own. Haha.
