North Korean Chicken Soup

I don't remember exactly where I got this one, but if you like garlic you'll love it:

North Korean Chicken Soup

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken
8-10 cups water ( or thereabouts)
1 package tofu
About a handful or two (or more) of Korean red hot pepper flakes
5-8+ cloves garlic (I like 8+)
1-2 bunches scallions
salt

Directions:
Bring water to a boil.  Add chicken and tofu.  Bring to a simmer.  Pick out tofu when it floats.  Keep chicken cooking until it is cooked. (meanwhile, skim the water of the "scum")

When chicken is cooked, lower heat and shred the chicken meat.  Shred it very finely.

Mash tofu.

Put shredded chicken in a bowl.  Add mashed tofu.  Add hot pepper, garlic, scallions and salt - and mix everything up by hand.  Taste - it should taste a bit salty but not be overpoweringly salty.  And the chicken mixture should have a substantial amount of hot pepper in it.  The mixture is called "ohn bahn"

Serve - put rice in the broth with the ohn bahn.  Mix up and eat!
