This is a traditional Korean soup with medicinal herbs, that is simple to make and gives you energy when you are sick or not hungry. It’s usually made with stuffed Cornish Hens, but that can be a lot of work (both to make and eat), this is a more simple version.
This recipe was cobbled for the Instant Pot from other sources, and needs work. It came out very bland, and needs both more ginger & garlic, and a bit of heat.
