One big mistake people make with stocks is to add too many flavours to them. A stock should be the base of taste, not the defining flavour of a final dish. If you add ginger and coriander to a stock, then you can't use it in a dish unless you want that dish to have a ginger and coriander flavour too.

Keep your stock simple and versatile, and then add additional flavours when you're making a final dish.

Here's how to make a simple Asian chicken stock. I swear it's easier than you think.

    The accomplishments of this guy is impressive. I mean he's a lawyer...may not be practising anymore but that's one of his qualified professions. How many cooks/chefs out there are/became hugely successful in their alternative profession as a result of a cooking competition not many I guess. And I am talking about recognition, commercial, and international success.

    what has always amazed me about chinese cooking is how some of the dishes pack so much damn flavor even sometimes without being overly seasoned or robust in color (of course chinese cooking is often still be super flavorful and has dark sauces). The best simple vegetable dishes I've eaten had a clear sauce, which I realize might have been a result of reducing a splash of this stock after being stir fried. I've also heard some higher end restaurants strain the juice out of the aromatics or simply reserve seasoned oil when cooking a dish, which leads to a milder flavor with a more pristine presentation.

    I should do this. 😍 As a fellow Asian, we do tend to put everything in the stock.

  • @hdenzymes
    hi adam, do you have any recommendations for a good stock pot?
  • @ArifSRahaman
    After the first boil. Do you pour out all of the water or only the foam? It seems as if you poured out a portion and then added some.
