How to Make Kona K's Korean Chicken Ginseng Soup Samgyetang

  1. Rinse the chicken thoroughly inside and out. Gently stuff the chicken cavity with 2 cloves of garlic, 1 jujube, and half of the ginseng.
  2. Place the stuffed chicken in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the remaining ginseng, the remaining garlic cloves, the onion, the ginger, and the water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 1.5 - 2 hours, or until the chicken is very tender and easily falls off the bone. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during simmering.
  4. Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken meat, discarding the bones and skin.
  5. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. Return the strained broth to the pot.
  6. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot. Stir in the salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and additional jujubes (optional). Enjoy your delicious and healthy Samgyetang!
