Directions

Broth

  1. Place the chicken in a pot with salt, cover with cold water, and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat. Cook for about 45 minutes, or until the meat easily separates from the bones.
  2. Let the soup and carcass cool down.
  3. Separate the meat from the bones and set it aside. ≈ 3 min
  4. Incorporate beaten egg white into the cold broth (this is important). Bring to a boil and strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  5. Season the broth with salt and grilled sesame oil (this is important). Add the chicken and the gold leaf.

custard pie

  1. Gently whisk the 4 eggs with the cream and salt using a fork, without using a mixer. ≈ 4 min
  2. Cook gently in a water bath in a generously buttered ramekin, without boiling, otherwise the custard will become porous.
  3. Remove the flan from its mold, cut it into slices about 1 cm thick, and add it to the soup. ≈ 8 min
