Samgyetang is a whole young chicken stuffed with glutinous rice, ginseng root, garlic, and jujube, slow-simmered in a clear medicinal broth until tender.
Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) is a dish rooted in the Korean concept of iyeol chiyeol, treating heat with heat: eating a hot soup in the hottest days of summer to restore vitality lost through sweating. It is traditionally eaten on the three bok days of the Korean lunar calendar, the hottest days of summer. The dish uses a whole poussin (young chicken) stuffed with glutinous rice, ginseng root, garlic, and dried jujube dates. Tosokchon in Seoul, set in a cluster of traditional hanok buildings near Gyeongbokgung Palace, has become the most visited samgyetang restaurant in the city.
