Summer Food

All countries in the world would have a good way to cool down during the summer. Some people would just go swimming, some would stay at home, some would drink cold water. Korean people cool down by consuming a certain food. There is an old proverb that says, "Heat can be controlled by heat." It might sound strange, but according to the research conducted in Korea, it is incredibly effective.

Korean people really love chicken and eat it often, especially during the summer time. Korean people boil the chicken with garlic and herbs, which remove bad oils, and the nutrition from the extra ingredients enter the chicken. We call it Baeksuk or Samgyetang. If a big chicken is used it is Baeksuk, and if a small chicken is used it is Samgyetang. 

It goes really well with raw garlic, onion, spicy pepper, etc. Once people eat the meat and soup, they might sweat. However, the meat and the soup has a lot of nutritional value, so people will feel re-energized after eating it. That is the reason why Korean ancestors said, "Heat can be controlled by heat."

Since it has so much nutrition, people tend to eat it when they are sick to recover. 

Do you feel exhausted every day? Do you want to overcome the heat of the summer? I would like you to eat this miracle food.
