Eating Korean Hangover Soup (Haejangguk : 해장국 & 解酲국) at a restaurant in Yongin, Korea

In this travel video we (Audrey & Samuel) visit a Korean restaurant specializing in Korean hangover soup known locally as Haejangguk : 해장국 & 解酲국. Craving a thick hearty stew, we immediately realized it was time to visit one of Audrey's favorite restaurants in her neighborhood; this place served up massive portions of Haejangguk, also know as Korean Hangover stew.

If you've lived in Korea for a while, it becomes rather obvious that Koreans have all kinds of associations with certain foods and how they pertain to your health. For example, Korean juk porridge is what will be recommended if you have an upset or unsettled stomach; if you've you just had surgery or low on the libido factor eating dog meat is recommended; ginseng is the preferred root for those suffering from low energy. Anyhow, it's not surprising that Haejangguk is a weapon of choice for Koreans who indulge a little too much with adult beverages. After-all, Korea as a nation, is infamous for its high consumption rates of alcohol, particularly soju and beer.

Although we're not big drinkers ourselves, nor were we hungover on this particular occasion, we certainly enjoy this soup that is often associated with those recovering from a little too much bubbly.

The soup literally translates 'soup to chase a hangover' and consists of congealed ox blood, vegetables and cabbage in a thick broth. What many may not realize is that there are various kinds of this soup including those with soy bean paste.

Once we tried a Korean hangover soup in my neighborhood that tasted awful; we couldn't even finish it. However, the one in Audrey's neighborhood is one we both really enjoy and frequent often.

In this video, we show you how the meal is prepared, what ingredients are used and all of the accompanying side dishes. I pretend to be hungover (even though I'm not) but my lousy acting skills are likely very unconvincing ;)

Thus, if you're in Korea, make it a point to try Korean hangover soup if you've got a buzz - or even if you don't ;)

당신이 잠시 동안 한국에서 살았 경우, 한국인 모두가 특정 음식과 협회의 종류와 그들이 어떻게 당신의 건강에 관련된이 오히려 명백하게된다. 예를 들어, 한국 JUK 죽 당신이 화가 나 불안 위장이있는 경우에 권장됩니다 것입니다, 당신은 당신이 가지고 한 경우 수술이나 개고기를 먹는 성욕 요인에 낮은 것을 권장합니다, 인삼 낮은에서 그 고통에 대한 기본 루트 에너지. 여하튼, 그것은 해장국 성인 음료와 너무 조금 빠지다 한국인을위한 선택의 무기 것은 놀라운 일이 아니다.국가로 - 모든 후, 한국은 높은 소비, 특히 알코올의 비율, 소주와 맥주에 대한 악명 있습니다.

http://nomadicsamuel.com : Haejangguk refers to all kinds of guk (soup) eaten as a hangover cure in Korean cuisine. It means "soup to chase a hangover"[1] and also called sulguk (술국) in pure Korean.[2][3] It usually consists of dried Napa cabbage, congealed ox blood (similar to blood pudding), and vegetables in a hearty beef broth.
In the Nogeoldae, a manual for learning spoken Chinese published in the late Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392), the term seongjutang (醒酒湯) appears. It means "soup to get sober" and is assumed to be the origin of haejangguk. According to the record, the soup consists of thinly sliced meat, noodles, scallions, and powder of cheoncho (천초, fruit skins of Zanthoxylum piperitum) in a broth.

There are various types of haejangguk according to region based on ingredients and recipe that give each variety its own characteristic taste. Haejangguk of the Seoul region is a kind of tojangguk (soybean paste soup) made with kongnamul, daikon, napa cabbage, scallions, coagulated ox blood, and tojang in a broth. The broth is prepared by simmering ox bones in a pot with water for hours. The neighborhood of Cheongjin-dong is famous for the Seoul style haejangguk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haejangguk
