Samgyetang is one of the classics of Korean cuisine. The Koreans emphasize "curing heat with heat", so the hotter and the hotter the summer, the more the pot of steaming sam chicken soup will nourish vitality, while we Chinese like autumn and winter tonic.

Despite the differences in food culture, the taste for delicious food is the same. Free-range chicken, ginseng, red dates, glutinous rice, chestnuts...this series of keywords for making sam chicken soup are all in line with our taste.

This season, on a cold night, you might as well serve such a pot of warm sam chicken soup for your family. The soup is light and delicious. The surface is ordinary but there is something in it. With a mouthful, it warms from the stomach to the heart. "

Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup

1. Soak and wash the red dates in warm water.

2. The canned chestnuts I use can be rinsed well. If you use raw chestnuts, peel them in advance.

3. Peel four or five pieces of garlic.

4. Soak the glutinous rice in clean water for 1 hour in advance, drain and mix well with the red dates, chestnuts and garlic.

5. The chicken is cleaned, and the head, claws and buttocks are cut off.

6. Authentic Korean ginseng chicken soup should use Korean ginseng. I don’t have it here, so I use Codonopsis ginseng instead. Codonopsis has the effects of replenishing qi, lowering blood pressure, and improving immunity. It is also sweet in nature and not easy to get angry.

7. Stuff the mixed glutinous rice filling into the chicken belly, and press it with a spoon while stuffing.

8. Then stuff one or two roots of Codonopsis.

9. Fold the chicken legs on the left and right sides and stuff them into the chicken belly to fix them.

10. If there is a gap in the neck area, seal the mouth with a toothpick.

11. The opening of the chicken belly can generally be sewn with cotton thread. If it is troublesome, you can also use a toothpick to seal and fix it like me. Not only is it simple and convenient, but the effect is also good. The filling did not come out during the cooking process.

12. Put enough water in the pot. If you use small chicken, you can also use Korean stone pot or casserole to make small portions.

13. After boiling over high heat, remove the foam and add ginger slices.

14. Add one or two ginseng roots and a few red dates.

15. Put in a few pieces of Jinhua ham, this is my personal habit of stewing chicken soup, it plays the role of seasoning and freshness, without adding any seasoning. The authentic sam chicken soup of course does not need to put ham, just add a little salt and pepper.

16. Simmer on low heat for about two hours.

17. When eating, the chicken is sandwiched, revealing the rich fillings that are hidden. The glutinous rice is mixed with the aroma of chicken, and the sweetness of red dates and chestnuts. The chicken soup is mixed with the flavors of various ingredients, which can be used as a hot soup. , Can also be used as a staple food.
