삼계탕

Samgyetang (삼계탕)

Whole young chicken, ginseng, garlic, and sticky rice — heat-wave food.

Heat: none · Vegetarian: no (this dish is the bird)

Stuff and simmer

Soak sweet rice, stuff the cavity with rice, ginseng, jujube, garlic. Simmer until the joints loosen and the broth tastes of garlic and bird, 60–90 minutes. Salt at the table. This is summer wellness food in Korea, not a spice bomb.
