Samgyetang(Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup)

To ward off the heat, samgyetang (chicken soup with ginseng) makes people feel hotter and sweat. They can get more energy by eating this hot food which protects their bodies and prevents exhaustion under the scorching heat. Samgyetang is one of the most popular summer dishes in Korea especially during the three Boknal Days, or the hottest days of summer.

Chicken and ginseng, the main ingredients of the dish, warm the inner body. Chicken is rich in proteins and good for digestion. Ginseng helps recovery from fatigue and lowers stress. For this reason, samgyetang makes people have better appetites and strengthens the immune system, preventing them from getting sick. Young chickens are used in this cuisine as it tastes better and has softer texture. Garlic and Oriental medicinal ingredients like milk vetch root are also used in this dish to protect the internal organs and help recover the strength of the body. Glutinous rice put inside the chicken also helps digestion.
