Te amo Maangchi, Gracias por tu tiempo!! I love you Maangchi, Thank you for your time !!
Here in Barcelona, Spain, I can’t find ginseng
Aqui en Barcelona, España, no encuentro el ginseng.
Thank you Maangchi! Always love your recipe. I tried samgyetang today for lunch and it turns out perfect. I use pre package ginseng bought from K Mart and boiled the chicken for 1.5 hours. The chicken was soft and tender, rice (no soaking) was soft. Our family of 5 love it so much!

I’m so happy to hear that you shared this delicious homemade samgyetang with all your family members! I can almost smell it.
Another delicious recipe executed. Thanks Maangchi~

The chicken looks so tender and the broth looks very yummy! Congratulations!
Thanks for sharing this simple, yet delicious recipe!
Hi dearest, no salt in the cooking broth?
Thank you!
Many Korean soups are served without seasonings so the person eating can customize it to their liking. You add the salt and pepper (and maybe green onion) to the soup to taste once you are ready to eat.
Hi Maangchi,
Tried this recipe. Fir some reason the rice would not soften and I cooked my soup for 30 minutes extra. Made sure when was covered in broth…?
Really liked the dipping sauces.
Also I wanted to know what I can use Korean vermicelli cut noodles I bought at HMart for?
Thanks

Have you soaked the glutinous rice for at least an hour? It has to be glutinous!!
Those are galguksu noodles so you can make yourself some anchovy broth and then boil those separately and add the two together and bring to a boil and enjoy a simple noodle and broth. However, we like to add pre-boiled chicken torn into strips on top a little sesame oil, sesame seeds, and green onions for Chicken Galguksu. Enjoy!
This recipe is so delicious. I added fresh ginger to the mix. It’s was hands down the best Chicken soup we’ve ever had.

delicious I want this
Need heeeelp now for a dinner on Dec 27, 2018
We are serving 16 who will have already eaten a lot of appetizers so I want to serve each person 1/2 a hen in their soup bowl.
Can I
Precut all the hens in half
Tie each back together with butcher string and stuff
After cooking cut the strings and separate the halves
Thank you
Cut them in half and prepare them all in one or several large pots with everything except the rice.
When the hens are done, strain enough liquid to cook the washed rice separately.
Keep everything warm until the rice is done.
Mix in the other ingredients and the remaining stock.. Scoop it into individual bowls.
Top with the hen-halves.
Bye, Sanne.
