'''Baeksuk''' ({{Korean|hangul=백숙|hanja=白熟}}) is a Korean culinary term referring to dishes made by boiling or steaming meat or fish to be cooked thoroughly without seasonings.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kordic.empas.com/dicsearch/view.html?i=16169100 |script-title=ko:백숙 (白熟)|language=Korean |publisher=Empas Korean Dictionary |accessdate=2008-06-21}}</ref> ''Baeksuk'' is made with chicken or pheasant with plenty of water for several hours. However, the term generally indicates ''dakbaeksuk'' (닭백숙, chicken ''baeksuk''), or chicken stew, whose recipe and ingredients are similar to ''samgyetang''. While ''samgyetang'' is made with ginseng, various herbs, chestnuts, and jujubes, ''dakbaeksuk'' consists of simpler ingredients, such as chicken, water, and garlic. The chicken can be stuffed with glutinous rice.
When the cooking is finished, salt and sliced Welsh onions (''daepa'', 대파) are added to the diner's bowl according to taste.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.encyber.com/search_w/ctdetail.php?masterno=828458&contentno=828458 |script-title=ko:닭백숙 |language=Korean |publisher=Doosan Encyclopedia |accessdate=2008-06-21 }}{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> If the ''baesuk'' is not stuffed with glutinous rice, it is usually eaten with cooked rice. It is often seen as a simpler and cheaper variant of ''samgyetang''. Sometimes it is mistakenly used as another word for ''samgyetang''.
