“Imja” means sesame. It is a dish that was enjoyed as a stamina food during summer in the royal court or noble family. Rather than using cold water as basic soup, they used savory and fat-rich ingredients rich in fat, such as chicken soup, sesame seeds, pine nuts, and beans, to supplement their nutrition. Imjasutang is topped with colorful garnishes, such as boiled chicken meat, cucumbers, mushrooms, meatballs, egg, and stems of water parsley. The soup boils chicken in water and filters out the broth, which is cooled and add ground sesame seeds. Boiled abalone or soaked sea cucumber is added, and wheat flour noodles are used instead of pears and cucumbers.
