Ingredients:


1 1/2 pounds Chicken pieces

1 1/2 pounds Pork spareribs

15 cups Water

3 pieces fresh ginger Unpeeled and crushed

3 pieces scallions -- each tied Into a knot

3 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or Dry sherry
 

Preparation / Directions:


Trim off any excess fat from the chicken and spareribs. With a sharp knife, chop them into large pieces. Place the chicken and spareribs in a large pot or pan with the water. Add the ginger and scallion knots. Bring to a boil and, using a strainer, skim off the froth. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 hours. Strain the stock, discarding the chicken, pork, ginger, and scallions; add the wine or sherry and return to a boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Refrigerate the stock when cool. It will keep for up to 4-5 days. Alternatively, it can be frozen in small containers and defrosted when required.
