Korean food : Samgyetang

Samgyetang, a ginseng chicken soup, is the most common and famous health food eaten on bongnal (the hottest period in summer). It is believed to cool the body during hot and humid days. 

A chicken, just enough for a single serving, is stuffed with ginseng, garlic, jujube and sweet rice. Samgyetang is not only seasonal food but also the best medicine for hot summer.
