Soup
Samgyetang is a traditional Korean chicken soup. It contains ginseng, a root valued in Korea for centuries. Tender chicken is cooked together with sticky rice, garlic and ginger until the broth is aromatic and strong. In Korea the soup is traditionally eaten on the hottest days of summer, following the old principle of fighting heat with heat.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 1.2 kg)
- 100 g sticky rice
- 4-5 ginseng roots
- 5-6 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 onion, quartered
- 1-2 slices of ginger
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1-2 scallions for garnish
- about 2.5 l water
Instructions
- Soak the sticky rice in water for 1-2 hours. Rinse the chicken thoroughly inside and out.
- Stuff the soaked rice into the chicken, together with the ginseng, garlic, onion and ginger.
- Put the chicken in a large pot and cover it with water so it is fully submerged.
- Bring the water to a boil, then simmer over medium heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the chicken is tender.
- Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
