5. Wash, peel and clean fresh shrimp. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper then set aside.

 
6. Take a whole white onion and whole garlic and bake in the toaster oven at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. These are to use in the broth to enhance the flavor.
7. In a large pot, put 1.5 gallons water on high heat until boiling. This process is about 5 minutes.
8. Once boiling add the white onion and garlic that was toasted, the chunks of daikon, dried shrimp drained, and pieces of the chicken. Bring it to a boil again. The bubbles of the chicken that float to the top contain the fat; use a spoon and scoop it out. This process is about 10 minutes.
