Seoul Capital Area Korean ⏱ 90 min Medium

Method

  1. 1

    Soak glutinous rice for 2 hours; loosen the chicken cavity and trim excess fat.

  2. 2

    Stuff the bird with rice, a ginseng root, jujubes, garlic cloves and a few scallion knots, then sew the opening closed with kitchen string.

  3. 3

    Cover with cold water, bring to a bare simmer, skim well, and cook low for 75–90 minutes until the broth clouds and the thigh yields to a chopstick.

  4. 4

    Season simply with salt and pepper; serve whole in a ttukbaegi pot with more scallion slivers, salted shrimp and pepper on the side.
