Samkyetang

Samkyetang is a Korean soup based of chicken which keeps the natural taste of the chicken itself. It reminds me of our 'soto', Indonesian soup, but minus the curcuma, while both are very good to help the body gets warmth. I bought a package of dry seasoning of Smkyetang (ACE supermarket for less than 2€). It is quite practical but the thing is the instruction guide is in Korean... thus i kind of put everything in the chicken stock, and the gingseng is very hard to be bitten.. According to the Koreans this soup is highly recomended to keep the vitality.

Btw, i did not have a whole chicken so i just use chicken legs.
