Ingredients
Method
In Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine chicken, water and vinegar; cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium; simmer for 30 minutes, skimming and discarding froth.
Stir in cilantro stems, shallots, carrots, garlic, turmeric and ginger; partially cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove from heat; using tongs, transfer chicken to cutting board. Using 2 forks, shred into bite-size pieces; sprinkle with salt.
Strain broth through fine-mesh sieve into separate large saucepan; discard solids. Return chicken to broth; stir in cilantro leaves. Season with salt to taste.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
