Servings: persons

4 cups low sodium homemade or canned chicken broth
1/2 ounce dried shitake mushrooms
1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds), cut into thighs, breasts, legs, and wings, skinned and trimmed of excess fat
6 medium cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1-inch piece ginger, cut into thin matchstick
1 whole star anise
8 scallions, whites cut into 2-inch pieces, greens cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup gluten free soy sauce (or substitute regular soy sauce)
1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chesnuts, drained and rinsed
4 ounces snow peas, ends trimmed
3 cups cooked white rice, for serving

1
Heat 1 cup of stock in a small saucepan until warm, then soak the mushrooms in the warm stock for 15 minutes. Remove mushrooms, then strain the liquid through a coffee filter to remove sediment. Reserve mushrooms and liquid.
2
Cover chicken pieces with remaining stock in a large, wide pot. Add garlic, ginger, star anise, and scallion whites. Cover and bring to a boil. Add mushroom soaking liquid and soy sauce and bring back to a boil. Add mushrooms and simmer until chicken is barely cooked through, about 5 minutes longer.
3
Add water chestnuts, scallion greens, and snow peas, and stir well to submerge them in cooking liquid. Cover and bring back to a gentle boil and cook until snow peas are cooked but still barely crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes.
4
Divide the cooked rice between 4 bowls and top with the chicken pieces. Ladle the broth equally between bowls and scatter the vegetables around the chicken. Serve immediately while still warm.
