Hangover Remedy: hae jjang kook
1. Before going to sleep, drink one (1) bottle of Gatorade and take two (2) aspirin.
2. The next morning, one (1) bowl of haejang-guk — a soup that can be ordered at most Korean restaurants. Here’s a description from LifeinKorea.com:
People who are up at dawn (taxi drivers, travelers, market workers, or gamblers) like to eat this as an eye opener soup. Many people claim it works great for recovering from hangovers after a late night of drinking. Its restorative properties are reputed to clear even the sleepiest or most hung-over people. Bones are boiled hard, and chopped radish, radish leaves, cabbage, green onions, and fresh blood (direct from the slaughter house) are added to stock to make a highly nutritious soup.
