Chicken stock is optional, but makes for a richer flavour, but be careful as most store broth is high in salt.
Cut garlic and ginger in thin but large slices so you can remove them easily after.

Crushed chili flakes available in most groceries if you want to add some spice, add after removing ginger and garlic.
