Lazy cooking: Rice pot broth
I really enjoy homemade broth - even if its crazy hot in Rome. The heart wants what the heart wants. So this recipe was devised to a) avoid a giant boiling pot steaming the kitchen and b)making broth with as little effort as is possible. I am sure you can use an instapot or pressure cooker for this. This is done with a standard rice maker with, really, next to no effort. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Three chicken drumsticks, with the skin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns or 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 piece of thumb sized ginger, peeled
1 garlic clove, stem removed
1 carrot, peeled and chopped in half
1 onion, peeled and chopped in half
1 bay leaf
Directions
Place everything in the pot and fill your ricecooker to the top line with water. (My rice cooker is 1.4 Litres or 8 cups - but if you have smaller rice cooker, the portions will still be the same for the base broth) Turn it on for two hours on the cook setting. After one hour, taste the broth and adjust the salt or pepper if needed. Let it sit for another hour on cook. Strain it and serve. Done. This can be enjoyed on its own or with a thin vermicelli noodle. You can of course use the chicken which at this point will fall off the bone. So good.
