Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup)
Samgyetang is a chicken soup made by stuffing a young chicken cavity with glutinous rice, ginseng, jujubes and garlic, then simmering it for a long time. In Korea, there are three traditional hottest days (sambok) in the summer. People have samgyetang on those hottest days to overcome the hot weather.
