1 tbs salt
Cinnamon to taste (optional)
1/4 cup fish sauce

Scallions
Onions
Cilantro

Sriracha
Bean Sprouts

1. Bake onions and ginger on a baking sheet at 400 F
2. Bring 16 cups of water to a boil in a stockpot. 
3. Add in cinnamon (optional), salt (adjust to taste), chicken, and cooked onions and ginger. Boil for 1 hour at med-low heat.
4. Remove chicken from pot. Debone, and refrigerate the meat. Put the bones back into the pot.
