This Korean Soup Cures Hangovers

This Korean Soup Cures Hangovers

The cure for a raging hangover has escaped modern man. Plenty have proffered a solution, but science is reluctant to recommend “a shit-ton of greasy food” as the medically-accepted way to deal with a rough night. If you’re game for trying anything, perhaps consider booking a flight to Korea, where you can dine on haejangguk, a soup designed to treat hangovers. Joon-Yong Choi’s family has been making the soup, which includes rice, congealed cow’s blood, cabbage, and more, since 1937. Great Big Story offers a crash course in the cure-all bowl.
