Add a bit more oil also Add 4 cups of broth (I use broth concentrate and just add more water as needed) Feel free to over water it so it cooks down if it's not soupy enough for everything to submerge at first Start with 2 teaspoons of salt and add more as needed once you taste the whole concoction I keep forgetting to salt the chicken before searing but it wont’t matter since it’s All getting infused when we put it back in so salt the chicken before, after, no one is ever gonna notice and if they say they can they haven't double blind tested it Get the chicken back in so the broth is boiling it for at least another twenty minute or more until it’s cooked through While that chicken is in there add: 1 tablespoon or so of cumin, the greatest spice of all time 1 tablespoon of turmeric, the spice that can heal literally anything except when it doesn't Some pepper pepper pepper Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks Now that your hands have forgiven you, give them something else to be mad about and micro chop two potatoes Add one can of vegan lard By the time the potatoes are cooked it's probably done But check for WABS and adjust the salt If you're not sure about adding more salt, put aside a small bowl and sprinkle in some salt and wangjangle it. You should be able to tell from comparing if it tastes more full, or too salty If you added too much salt, fake your death If you didn't add too much salt, bask in the adulation and praise that is coming your way
