About Samgyetang

Samgyetang is a traditional Korean dish made with a whole young chicken stuffed with glutinous rice, garlic, jujube, and ginseng, simmered in a light, flavorful broth. Often enjoyed in the summer, it is believed to restore energy and improve stamina, making it a popular choice for combating heat-related fatigue. The dish is rich in protein from the chicken and provides immune-boosting properties thanks to its herbal ingredients like ginseng, which is known for its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects. With minimal oil used in preparation, Samgyetang is relatively low in fat while offering key nutrients such as vitamins B and C. However, the sodium content from seasoned broth can be high depending on preparation, so mindful consumption is advised. Pairing this dish with healthy sides can create a well-balanced meal that showcases the nourishing elements of Korean cuisine.
