During the cold winter months, Samgyetang is the perfect dish to warm both body and soul. Made with CJ Prime’s premium Cornish Hen, this traditional Korean ginseng chicken soup is a hearty and nourishing way to embrace the season.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cornish Hen ➡️ You can buy here!

• 1/4 cup glutinous rice

• 2-3 cloves garlic

• 2-3 jujubes (Korean dates)

• 1 small piece of ginseng (or ginseng tea bag as an alternative)

• 2 green onions

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 4-5 cups of water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cornish Hen:

   • Wash the CJ Prime Cornish Hen thoroughly, removing any leftover innards. Rinse the cavity with water and pat dry with a paper towel.

2. Stuff the Hen:

   • Rinse the glutinous rice and soak it in water for about 30 minutes. Drain the rice and stuff it into the cavity of the hen along with the garlic, jujubes, and ginseng.

3. Cook the Soup:

   • Place the stuffed Cornish Hen in a large pot. Add 4-5 cups of water, ensuring the hen is fully submerged. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

   • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface to keep the broth clear.

4. Season and Garnish:

   • Add salt and pepper to taste. Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the soup before serving.

5. Serve:

   • Carefully transfer the Cornish Hen to a serving bowl along with the broth. Serve hot with a side of kimchi and steamed rice for a complete meal.

Enjoy this nourishing and flavorful dish, perfect for rejuvenating your energy and warming your soul!
