Chicken and Ginseng Soup
The belly rules the mind. ~Spanish Proverb
I ate this at a nice restaurant next to Tom And Toms in Suncheon.
One bowl One chicken is 10 000 won.
Considered Summer food . It is most popular on the hottest day of the summer.

Recipe

4 pieces of dried ginseng root
6 garlic cloves
4-5 chestnuts "bam"
8 red dates "dae choo"
approximately 9 cups water
2 green onions, sliced into thin rings for garnish
Clean the chicken inside and out.
Trim any visible fat as much as possible.
Wash rice, ginseng, chestnut and red dates.
Stuff inside the chicken with rice and seal.
In a heavy pot, add chicken, ginsengs, red dates, chestnuts, garlics and ginger.
Pour water to cover the chicken.
Bring to a boil and turn down to simmer.
Cook about 2-3 hours until the bones fall apart. Skim out the fat on top occasionally.
You can buy the chicken and rice and everything you need pre packed in the chicken In most supermarkets for about 5000. All you got to do is cook it.

Another meal similar to this is Dak Baek Suk(Steamed Chicken)
I ate this once at a nice restaurant outside town. We got a really big chicken first and rice in chicken stock after. It was one of the best meals I have had in Korea.
