Samgyetang (Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup)

Korea's restorative summer soup: whole Cornish hens stuffed with soaked sweet rice and garlic, simmered with fresh ginseng, jujubes, ginger and scallion until the meat is falling-off-the-bone tender and the clear broth turns gently milky. Each person gets half a hen in a deep bowl of broth, seasoned at the table with salt, pepper and plenty of fresh scallions.
