삼계탕 [Samgyetang] Ginseng Chicken Soup

Hello Everyone!
Today we will introduce some Korean traditional food.

The first is a ginseng chicken soup called 'samgyetang' (삼계탕).


The ginseng chicken soup is usually eaten in the summer as many Koreans find hot soup refreshing in hot weather. There is even a day called Chobok, when Koreans eat this soup.

Samgyetang is a popular soup loved by everyone in Korea.



The chicken is stuffed with glutinous rice, young ginseng shoots, and jujubes. The chicken is then boiled in a clear stock and served in an individual earthenware pot. 

Many Koreans supplemented their diet[nourished theirself] with chicken soup with ginseng.

 

This wonderful dish is gradually being recognized by the rest of the world. Koreans try to survive the summer heat with hot stamina food. Even if you are skeptical about the properties attributed to ginseng, you will enjoy this dish which is said to give stamina during the steamy Korean summers.
 
When you wanto to fight fire with fire, have some samgyetang!  :)
