Piping hot Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup)
Samgyetang is traditionally served in the summer for its supposed nutrients, which replaces those lost through excessive sweating and physical exertion during the hot summers in Korea. To make samgyetang, a whole young chicken is stuffed with glutinous rice and boiled in a broth of Korean ginseng, dried seeded jujube fruits, garlic and ginger.
Too much shopping in Seoul? Have a bowl of Samgyetang to replenish your energy!

I enjoyed the Samgyetang at Baegje. Once again, I chanced upon this place while I was strolling in Myeongdong. ^^ It tasted pretty authentic and I love the soup (the empty bowl tells it all). :D
