Korean ginseng chicken soup

Okay, I cheated. This isn't a chinese soup. But it is really yummy and good for health. Anyway, this is not the first time I sneaked in a Japanese or Korean soup recipe (^_^).

The korean ginseng chicken soup, called samgyetang in korean, like the spicy kimchi soup, is a representative of the korean cuisine.

If you can't get the ginseng, replace with 1 to 2 ginseng tea bags. If you have time, soak the glutinous rice over night. It will cook better.
