Chicken soup with ginseng | Yan Can Cook | KQED

There's no cold remedy quite like chicken soup. In this episode of Yan Can Cook, Martin takes the healing properties of chicken soup to the next level with his wonderful chicken soup with ginseng. Ginseng is said to improve your metabolism and vascular system. Martin also claims it can add spice to your love life, but we don't know about that.
Next up, Martin demonstrates how to make sizzling ginger oysters (6:57) and then "knocks his boots off" with an assortment of Chinese wine (12:42). He combines two separate prawn dishes to create his special Lover's prawns recipe (15:23).
For dessert, Martin whips up champagne melon ball (22:07), made with fresh fruit, syrup, ginger, and champagne.

About Yan Can Cook:
After receiving his formal restaurant training in Hong Kong, Chef Martin Yan immigrated to Calgary, Canada where he was asked to appear in a daytime news program to demonstrate Chinese cooking. The rest, as they say, is television history. In 1978, he launched the groundbreaking Chinese cooking series 'Yan Can Cook' on public television. Infused with Martin's signature humor and energy, Yan Can Cook has gone on to become a global phenomenon and has won multiple James Beard Awards.

Show reminds me of when I was a kid

There’s a Korean dish very similar to this, except it’s a whole chicken stuffed with rice. Also has ginseng as one of the main ingredients.
