(1) Remove the tendons from the chicken thighs and cut off any excess fat. Hold both ends of the chicken thighs and stretch them out tightly (to prevent them from shrinking).

(2) Put all the ingredients except the chicken thighs in a pot and heat. When it boils, add the chicken thighs. When it boils again, skim off the scum and reduce the heat to very low.

(3) Simmer over low heat for about 7 minutes.

Once cooled, you can store it in a storage container in the refrigerator, or eat it fresh. Use it up within about 4 days.

1: Make use of the boiled water! "Summer chilled somen noodles with bukkake"

Dilute the noodle soup with the boiled water instead of water to enhance the flavor! Add some black pepper to taste.

This is a bukkake somen noodle dish that you can easily eat even on days when you don't have much of an appetite. It is also recommended when you are tired of regular somen noodles.
