Korean Chicken Soup

Samgyetang (삼계탕) is a ginseng chicken soup that is considered to be a healthy food.  It includes a whole chicken in a pot, here 1 small chicken per person; not a lot of meat, but quite tasty:


It is eaten with chopsticks and a spoon (with a bowl on the table to put the bones in as you work your way through the chicken, which requires some inventive chopstick use).
