1 Chicken (~ 1.5Kg)

3 litres of water

4 Tbsp of cooking oil (Tbsp = table spoon)

enough rice to feed yourself and your guests.

3 cloves garlic (chopped)

3 large onions

1 thumb sized piece of ginger

chilies to taste

vinegar to taste

soy sauce to taste

salt & pepper to taste

vegetables for the soup

Bring the 3 litres of water to a boil. You will need a container large enough for the water and (whole) chicken. When the water boils, put

in the chicken. Let it simmer until the chicken floats to the

surface (1/2 hour). DO NOT let the water boil briskly. Allow only a

slow simmer. Also, simmer without the lid. This will make the

chicken tender. Fry the garlic in oil until light brown. Use the

soup (from cooking the chicken) to cook the rice. Add in the garlic

oil, pepper and salt. With remaining soup add the vegetables

(optional) and the (whole) onions. Grind the ginger to a paste.

Grind the chilies to a paste and add vinegar.
