Method: To prepare the chicken, pour enough water in a pan to cover chicken and bring to a boil. Add chicken, lower the heat, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and leave the chicken in the water for 40 minutes before removing to boiled cold water for 15 minutes. Hang chicken to air. Mix 1 tsp sesame oil with 1 tsp soya sauce and brush chicken with mixture. Remove legs, wing tips and neck from chicken and place back in the boiled water. Add chicken cube and boil.

Add 1 tsp sesame oil, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until water is absorbed. To the remaining stock, add ginger, salt and pepper to make the chicken broth.
