===Medicinal foods===
Medicinal food (''boyangshik'') is a wide variety of specialty foods prepared and eaten for their purported medicinal purposes, especially during the hottest 30-day period in the lunar calendar, called ''sambok''. Hot foods consumed are believed to restore ''[[qi|ki]]'', as well as sexual and physical stamina lost in the summer heat.{{Sfn|Pettid|2008|pp=84–85}}<ref name="hankooki">{{cite news|url=http://news.hankooki.com/lpage/economy/201007/h2010071322204321500.htm|script-title=ko:초복 앞둔 유통가 '보양식' 열기 (Popularity of boyangshik ahead of coming chobok)|newspaper=[[The Korea Times]]|language=ko|access-date=2010-07-20|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613215619/http://news.hankooki.com/lpage/economy/201007/h2010071322204321500.htm|archive-date=2011-06-13}}</ref> Commonly eaten ''boyangshik'' include ginseng, chicken, black goat, abalone, eel, carp, beef bone soups, pig kidneys.<ref name="kgdomin">{{cite web |url=http://www.kgdomin.com/paper/news/view.php?newsno=151039&sectno=14&sectno2=0&pubno= |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120426005505/http://www.kgdomin.com/paper/news/view.php?newsno=151039&sectno=14&sectno2=0&pubno= |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-04-26 |script-title=ko:보양식 드시고 건강하세요 (Eat boyangshik and be healthy) |publisher=Kyounggikdoin Times |access-date=2010-07-20 }}</ref><ref name="Lifehanbang">{{cite web|url=http://www.lifehanbang.co.kr/familyhealth/healthBoyang.asp?page=1&titlename=%EB%B4%84%EC%B2%A0%EA%B1%B4%EA%B0%95%EB%B3%B4%EC%96%91%EC%8B%9D|title=Spring boyangshik|publisher=lifehanbang.co.kr|language=ko|access-date=2010-07-20|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130219014803/http://www.lifehanbang.co.kr/familyhealth/healthBoyang.asp?page=1&titlename=봄철건강보양식|archive-date=2013-02-19}}</ref>

==== Samgyetang ====
[[Samgye-tang|''Samgyetang'']] is a chicken ginseng soup traditionally consumed during Boknal ({{Korean|hangul=복날|labels=no}}) days: the hottest days of summer. It is a Korean custom to eat hot food in hot weather called Iyeolchiyeol ({{Korean|hangul=이열치열|labels=no}}), which means "controlling heat with heat". Consequently, Samgyetang is Koreans' favorite energizing food and it is common to have it on sambok ({{Korean|hangul=삼복|labels=no}}) days — Chobok ({{Korean|hangul=초복|labels=no}}), Jungbok ({{Korean|hangul=중복|labels=no}}) and Malbok ({{Korean|hangul=말복|labels=no}}) — which are believed to be the hottest days in Korea.
