When did Samgyetang first come to our table? The origin of Samgyetang is not clear, but there is a record that it was used as a royal banquet food during the Joseon Dynasty. After the 1960s, it became a popular health food.

Samgyetang is a dish made by boiling chicken with various ingredients such as glutinous rice, ginseng, jujube, and garlic. It is said that the warm nature of chicken and the efficacy of herbal medicine are excellent for recovering energy lost in the summer. 💪.

Samgyetang, you shouldn't eat too much, right? 😟 Side effects of Samgyetang

However, Samgyetang is also not good in excess! It is important to eat everything in moderation. Samgyetang is a high-protein, high-calorie food, so if you eat too much, it can cause indigestion or diarrhea. In particular, people with high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease should control their intake.

Also, be careful because ginseng may not be suitable for people with a lot of heat. Don't forget the wise habit of eating samgyetang, enjoying everything in moderation! 😉

Samgyetang, is there a way to enjoy it more deliciously? 😋 How to eat Samgyetang deliciously

Samgyetang is best when eaten with hot broth boiling in a clay pot! The taste is superb when you lightly dip the chicken in salt and eat it with glutinous rice. The glutinous rice inside the chicken absorbs the broth and gives it a deeper flavor.

When putting glutinous rice into the chicken, be careful not to put too much. If there is too much glutinous rice, the chicken will cook slowly and the glutinous rice will spread out, which can ruin the taste. Also, radish kimchi or kimchi served with samgyetang helps to reduce the greasiness of the samgyetang and stimulates the appetite. 🌶️

In addition to the traditional method of boiling a whole chicken, Samgyetang can be transformed into various dishes.

How should I store Samgyetang if I can't eat it all at once? Samgyetang can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3 days, and in the freezer for about 1 month. When storing in the refrigerator, store the chicken and broth separately, and when storing in the freezer, divide it into individual servings and store in the freezer for convenience.

The ancestor of samgyetang was 'gyesamtang (鷄蔘湯)'. As the name suggests, chicken (鷄) was the main ingredient, and ginseng (蔘) was the secondary ingredient.

However, as time passed, the value of ginseng gradually increased. As its health benefits became known, ginseng became a popular medicinal herb among the nobility, and its presence in 'Gyesamtang' also began to grow.

Eventually, as the status of ginseng rose, the name of 'Gyesamtang' changed to 'Samgyetang (蔘鷄湯)'. Chicken was still the main ingredient, but ginseng, boasting a high price, took the lead in the name!

🤫 Another secret hidden in the name of Samgyetang?
There is another secret hidden in the name 'Samgyetang'. It is the meaning contained in the character 'sam'. 'Sam' is not only ginseng, but also contains the meaning of a dish in which three ingredients (chicken, ginseng, and glutinous rice) are harmoniously combined.

In addition, 'sam' also implies the meaning of food that helps beat the heat of the three hottest days of the year. The three hottest days of the year, and samgyetang has been loved as a food that helps replenish lost energy and beat the heat during this time.
