Samgyetang is a traditional Korean chicken soup that Koreans eat to restore their strength. It contains ginseng, a root that Korean cooks and healers have valued for centuries. You simmer a tender chicken stuffed with sticky rice, garlic and ginger until the broth turns fragrant and nourishing. In Korea, people eat it on the hottest days of summer, following the old idea of fighting heat with heat.
