  1. Samgyetang

    Ginseng chicken soup (Samgyetang)

    A bowl of soup that features ginseng, garlic, jujubes, and a whole small chicken!? Koreans traditionally eat this on the hottest days of summer as a way to keep up their energy and to balance their body heat with the hot weather.

  2. Japchae (Sweet potato starch noodles stir fried with vegetables)

    Japchae, sweet potato starch noodles stir fried with vegetables and meat, is one of Korea’s best-loved dishes, and one of the most popular on my website as well. If anyone asks me to recommend a good potluck dish, I don’t hesitate to recommend japchae because everyone loves it!
