- Make sure it's not boiling rapidly.
- It should just be gently simmering.
- Once it has been simmering for 30 minutes and almost no scum is coming out anymore, add the green leek parts, ginger, and garlic.

- Don't let it come to a rolling boil at this point either.
- The ginger tastes better with the skin on.
- Crush the garlic with the side of a knife.
- Take out the green leek parts, and strain the bones, garlic, and ginger through a sieve.
