    • 750 ml chicken stock

    • 4 garlic cloves (kept in their skins, lightly smashed)

    • 2 spring onions, roughly chopped

    • 1 medium onion, sliced into half-centimeter slices

  • For the chili garlic oil:

    • 1 tbsp sesame oil

    • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

    • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

    • 2 tbsp Korean chili flakes (gochugaru)

    • Set aside the chili garlic oil for seasoning later.
