Samgyetang recipe!

Hi everyone, Today I am going to post a recipe which is samgyetang.
Samgyetang is a ginseng chicken soup that comes from korea. I decided to cooked it yesterday because of the very cold weather in melbourne and just wanted to enjoy something hot such as soup.
Okay soo, the recipe for samgyetang:


  • Whole chicken
  • Dry ginseng (you can find it at korean grocery store)
  • Red jujube
  • Sweet rice
  • green onion
  • salt and pepper
I actually having a hard time to handle the chicken because for this recipe, small chicken is more recommended but I can't find any so I am using a pretty big chicken which was bigger than my face :P.
enough of the chicken joke.. let's get back to the recipe :D

  1. so first, chicken needs to be clean so wash wash~~~ 
  2. soak the sweet rice in cold water for about one hour and,
  3. soak the dry ginseng as well just before cooking
  4. after one hour, chicken is ready to be stuff. stuff the chicken with sweet rice, red jujube, and ginseng.
  5. place it into the pot, pour water and boil it for about 20-30 minutes. 
  6. while boiling, skim any foam and fats that appears on the surface.
  7. pour more water and boil it for one hour.
  8. add salt and pepper to taste
  9. and lastly, sprinkle some green onion.

I'm using a big pan because the chicken can't fit into my pot and I like to enjoy my samgyetang with kimchi so hope you guys find it interesting :)
