Sanghwang Mushroom Yaksu Samgyetang
Well-cooked glutinous rice fills the earthen pot alongside chicken, garlic, and red dates, served with salt mixed with sesame oil.
Introduction
I think of samgyetang even more in the middle of summer, and even when I'm not feeling well, the first food that comes to mind is samgyetang. If you think of white and immaculate samgyetang, you might be confused. The light brown soup is thick enough to feel viscous and has a strong aroma of herbal medicine. If you cut open the chicken filling the earthen pot, you will find well-cooked glutinous rice with whole garlic and jujubes. Uniquely, they serve oil sauce instead of just salt, and the chicken dipped in oil sauce is an unexpected delicacy. The owner and his wife are friendly, so you can have a pleasant meal.
