7 Hangover Foods From Around the World - AFAR

"A Jeonju eatery known for serving kongnamul gukbap, the bean-sprout–forward hangover soup from the region, characterized by a light anchovy-and-kelp broth and believed to aid recovery thanks to its high asparagine content." - Ashlea Halpern

Six Hangover Cures Koreans Swear By

"Kongnamul-Guk (bean sprout soup) was the number one food hungover Koreans craved after a night of heavy drinking. It’s a deceptively simple dish that requires few ingredients: bean sprouts, water (or basic dried anchovy stock) and salt. Many restaurants serve the soup Jeonju style, bubbling away in an earthenware pot with rice (already submerged in the broth), plenty of wilted bean sprouts, chopped kimchi, a freshly cracked raw egg, and chopped green onions." - Yerica Park

Bean sprouts soup was delicious...their Kimchee was even more awesome! Bean sprouts was crunchy but they are not raw, rightly cooked. Mixed the seaweed with the egg and put some bean sprouts and eat them together...so delicious. It is very simple meal and cheap. Value for the money. Broth might seems blend to some foreigners, but it's that clear broth we are looking for. As Korean says, Ah~ Si-won-ha-da~~~ Literally means it's Cool~~ Having a hot broth but we are calling is Cool~~ hard to explain but we are saying the broth is clearing our throat and make your stomach feels comfortable or feels good. 😆👍😋

The bean sprout soup is very simple but amazing. The service ladies are very understanding and gentle which is amazing! This place is very popular among the locals. The price is very reasonable, yes it's 'only: sprout and rice but they let you refill the banchan freely.

A kongnamul gukbap spot that, supposedly, locals from Jeonju don’t actually eat at. The broth is clear and has just the right amount of heat to lift your mood. Not bad at all.

coming here while waiting for KTX to Seoul. Ordered Bibimbab, Kongnamul Gugbab and Moju (Moju is a thick Korean drink with fairly low alcohol content. It is based on makgeolli—traditional Korean beverage made with fermented rice—which is brewed with herbs and spices that usually include cinnamon, ginger, jujube, ginseng, and licorice root. Moju is lightly sweetened, and although it is traditionally enjoyed chilled, it can also work well as a heated, warm drink. It is usually associated with Jeonju, and it is considered a great hangover remedy that goes well with hearty South Korean soups and stews). This was my first time trying Moju and I love it. Light but unique taste. For me Jeonju has the best Makgeoli and Moju for sure 😍 Everything was delicious 😋

***A generous serving of bean soup*** First you can choose between spicy and non spicy. They provide so many beans sprouts and an additional side serving of bean sprouts to you. There is already rice in the soup and they bring you a full bowl of white rice as well. It comes with a half cooked egg. Just add a few tablespoons of soup and seaweed to the egg and mix it up then drink it up.

It was OK. No meat in here, so the big thing about this is that the bean sprout soups with rice is that it's a refreshing soup to have in the summer. Do not bring a big group here. You'll be waiting for a while, and it's a LONG line. We managed to cut in early, because we were only 2 people. It was OK, but for the hype about this being a really good local food? I understand, but I'd rather go with 비빔밥, sorry. But hey, it's a local popular food, and I can say that I had it. Sadly, my star knock-off is my friend say they saw one of the staff members come out of the restroom and didn't wash their hands. To be honest, it's not just this place, this seems to be an issue with most Koreans I've noticed. So keep this in mind.

Food was very good. I could choose non spicy version, but I got four types of kimchi and two of them was extremely spicy, so I couldn't finish them. The soup has a lot of sprouts and a few octopus pieces. The staff was very nice. This restaurant offers only sprout soup. It costs 8000 won

delicious and authentic bean sprout soup (hangover soup). lots of bean sprout, the broth was good and comes with a bit of spice and rice. 1. stir the soup (there are spice and rice below) 2. mix the egg with a few scoups of soup, stir 3. mix the bean sprout into the soup with egg recommended
