It feels like summer is just around the corner.
During the day, it gets pretty hot, making you feel like you could wear a tank top.
Today, we’re introducing a recipe for abalone ginseng chicken soup also known as samgyetang (Sahm-Gyay-Tahng) in Korean to help you maintain your energy. It’s an excellent dish to have in the springtime as it boosts your health.
Although the slightly greasy samgyetang soup is nice because it’s light, it might feel bland to those who like spicy food. So, if you make the finishing porridge with kimchi, you can enjoy a bowl of healthy food with a clean and exciting taste. The broth, which is boiled chicken, can’t be tasteless.
[How to Make Abalone Samgyetang]
Ingredients:
2 whole chickens
2 abalones
2 ginseng roots
5 cloves of garlic
4 jujubes
4 chestnuts
1/2 onion
10cm green onion
3 ginkgo nuts
2 liters of water
1. Add all the cleaned ingredients to the water. For abalone, scrub only the shell and the bottom with a brush and add them to the water.
Tip: You can also add dried chili peppers to bring out a slightly spicy flavor.
2. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour.
Tip: Adding 2 tablespoons of cooking wine can make it taste cleaner.
The completed abalone samgyetang is served with one chicken breast and one abalone. The front of the abalone has teeth, so it’s better to cut it off and eat it for a better texture.
After you’ve enjoyed your meal, immediately boil the kimchi porridge.
