Cultured Palate: Dishes from South Korea

Samgyetang
The Korean version of chicken noodle soup one ups the traditional North American version by including a whole chicken in every single pot. Samgyetang is a popular Korean dish that most Koreans will consume in the summer. The theory is that this aromatic, spicy soup will help regulate your internal temperature while you deal with the humidity and heat of the hot summer days.
Samgyetang is made with plenty of ginseng, and enough Cornish game hen for each diner to have their own. The hens are stuffed with rice, and boiled in the tasty broth until each bite is suffused with the taste of spices, succulent chicken, and perfectly cooked rice.
