Thank you so much for this lovely recipe! My 78 yo Korean mother has come down with Covid and I’ve made several of your dishes for her over the past week. I was a bit nervous each time because she can be quite picky, but everything was delicious. She especially loved this one!

In reply to Jacq. Did you skim off the foam when it was coming to a boil? The broth from boiling a chicken usually does not get milky white. If you're looking to achieve milky broth some samgyetang restaurants offer, the restaurants add some other ingredients to make milky broth. They probably boil extra chicken bones and parts to make broth too. You can add some sweet rice to the water or use chicken stock to boil the chicken. The starch of the sweet rice will thicken the soup slightly and give a bit of sweetness to the soup.

Why does my broth turns brown? How do I make it milky white?

In reply to Ailina. I'm not an expert on the matter, but I'd suggest you don't to be safe. Ginseng is a strong medicinal herb, so a little one year old body might not take it well.

Hi Hyosun, Is it normal to eat the ginseng in the soup? Your picture shows large chunks of ginseng root – which I used. They taste delicious, but I was wondering if it is culturally acceptable to eat the cooked roots.
