12 cups (2880 ml) Cold Brew Dashi (see above)
1½ lbs (680 g) ground chicken
1 knob ginger
1 Tokyo negi (naga negi; long green onion) (separated; for the broth, use some of the dark green tops and the Y-shaped section where the leaves meet the stalk; substitute with several green onions)
⅔ oz (20 g) katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) (I used thick shavings; for thin shavings, use the same amount in weight or 2 packed cups for 4 servings)
