Rating: Excellent. Easy to follow. Almost as delicious as the restaurant soup.
Recommendations: Add 1/3 cup soaked mung bean (녹두), and double the amount of water called for.
I finally had a chance to try out Aeri's Kitchen Samgeytang recipe and it's fantastic. My toddler loved it and ate three servings!

| I wasn't able to view the Youtube video to check out how to close up the chicken so I figured it out on my own. I used about 5 toothpicks. Adding 1/3 cup of mung beans (녹두) really adds to the flavor. I was totally out of garlic but the soup turned out pretty good without it. |
 |
| I added twice as much water as called for. Even then there wasn't enough soup. Next time I'll triple the water. I did use a bigger chicken. |
 |
| I served the soup with ginseng liquor (백세주), ice water, kimchi, seasoned green pepper plant stems (고추나물), and salt n pepper. |
 |
| J ate three servings of chicken and two servings of kimchi and soup. He kept on saying "mmmmmm"!^^ |
 |
| You eat the chicken by pulling off chunks and dipping it in a mix of salt n pepper. If you wanna be fancy-pantsy you can buy liquid bamboo salt which is super delicious. Be careful that you only add a little salt to your chicken or you'll feel sickish or horribly thirsty after. |
 |
| To finish off I had two glasses of plum juice (매실) mixed with cold water. It helped settled my stomach which was feeling a bit quesy from eating too much salt. |
Thanks Aeri! Your blog is awesome and your recipes always turn out. My Korean mother-in-law gives you two thumbs up and that is really something!^^ I'll be using this recipe over and over again.
