* how to make chicken stock

1 Chicken

2 Onions, Quarted

2 Stalks Celery, Chopped

2 Carrots, Chopped

2 Potatoes, Quarted

4 bay leaves (Optional)

In a stock pot, add in 3L water and put all ingredients in. On low heat simmer for 1 hour. Leave it to cool to room temperature and strain the stock from the ingredients. (If you tear up the chicken meat, you can make a simple salad, or serve it as ipoh horfun, or just as topping for instant noodles)

Transfer stock into air tight containers and store in fridge for use. within  3 days. If frozen, its good for 1 month. (The longer you keep, the more flavourful the stock will be) This makes about 2L of stock.
