Korean health food for summer :D

Since we sweat a lot during summer, we need to eat something special!! hum.. maybe it sounds weird but it is better to eat anyways :p 

There are three days that Korean eat special food for summer. It is 'Cho-Bock (초복)' 'Joong-Bok (중복)' 'Mal-Bock (말복)'. We call these three days as Bok-Nal all together. 

'Cho-Bock (초복)' is July 18, 'Joong-Bok (중복)' is July 18th, and 'Mal-Bok (말복)' is August 7th. All three days are followed by Lunar Calendar. Usually in these days, we eat something has extremely high calorie such as Sam-Gye-Tang, Choo-Eh-Tang, or Bo-Shing-Tang. So if you are visiting Korea during these days, you can have one of those three foods and pretend that you are a real Korean :p 

Sam-Gye-Tang is a soup with chicken, Choo-Eh-Tang is made of mudfish and Bo-Shing-Tang is soup with dog... The most popular one is Sam-Gye-Tang :D 

Few days ago, it was Joon-Bock (중복) in Korea, so my family went to restaurant to have Sam-Gye-Tang since my mom was too tired to make it at home. This is Sam-Gye-Tang. Even thought my cousin loves the chicken only, personally, I believe the best part of this dish is the soup and the rice inside of the chicken. Just like turkey in western, we stuffed the chicken with a lot of other healthy ingredients such as ginseng, chest nut, leek, jujube and so on.
