Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup

This is my first time eating ginseng chicken soup. One pot is for one person, and the amount is quite large. I chose the original flavor. The chicken is so tender! Especially the chicken skin, which is so tender and tastes great! . .

Auntie kept recommending us the more expensive chicken soup and fried ginseng. Although she may have good intentions, it was a bit of a push. So, we only ordered a ginseng chicken soup and kimchi pancake. ! !

Suddenly I found a Michelin recommended restaurant. It was the local ginseng chicken soup that I always wanted to try. It was just after 3 o'clock when we went there. There were not many tables of customers in the restaurant, but I can be sure that they all spoke Chinese. There were also two Korean aunties among the staff, so everyone was relaxed and ordered. The local chicken was added with glutinous rice! !

It is a restaurant that lives up to its reputation. The store is not big, but the food is excellent. Many locals patronize it. When I went there, I saw someone preparing firewood. It is really a very traditional restaurant. The chicken ginseng soup slow-cooked with firewood has tender chicken and a light soup with a fresh taste. It is not like the restaurants in China where the soup is full of MSG and the chicken's internal organs are dug out and replaced with plenty of glutinous rice and a whole ginseng. The price is also very reasonable. In short, you must come to this restaurant to taste it when you come to Seoul, otherwise the trip will be worthwhile. It is rare to find a restaurant in China that retains such traditional food methods. After returning to China, the only thing I still miss is the chicken ginseng soup from this restaurant.

Please remember this cute one in the photo! Because this ginseng chicken soup shop is considered by the locals to be the most authentic and delicious ginseng chicken soup shop. The cute one at the door of the shop is just its logo. Just look for this shop when you come out of Hanok Village. When you see this one waving at us from a distance, you know you have arrived at your destination! The ginseng chicken soup tastes very light and not greasy. There are several flavors, and we chose two with different recipes. The meat of the chicken is tender and smooth! When I opened the chicken belly little by little, glutinous rice came out, and I drank it with the chicken soup, warm and fragrant! With the homemade pickles sent by the store, it was so high~ After a year, I still think that this sentence on the menu is the truth. Health is the most important thing. Just like his ginseng chicken soup, the ingredients are very healthy and it is very comfortable to eat. If you can't forget its taste, you can buy a few packs of packaged instant chicken soup at the front desk before leaving and take them home to share with your family! (Well, I didn’t buy it in the store at that time because I was worried whether it would be OK to bring that kind of packaging on the plane. But when I saw instant ginseng chicken soup for sale at the duty-free shop in Incheon Airport, I finally brought three big bags home. The taste is definitely not as tempting as the hot one in the store.

There was a big yellow chicken at the door. It was quite interesting. I used the direction card to ask 3 people and they pointed me in 3 directions. I almost fainted. Finally, I used Baidu to ask more people and even asked a Chinese student. Great! Chicken soup is good for warming the stomach. It is best to eat it in winter. It is a bit... Ginseng is very nourishing in it, but it is too bitter when you bite it. It is really too bitter.

This restaurant is quite famous, and it's not the kind that fools tour groups. I saw that the diners are all locals and independent travelers. The waitress is a Korean lady - she doesn't speak English or Korean. Just use your hands to gesture, no problem. The checkout guy speaks good English. I like the black garlic flavor...
