Cooking tips

  • Always use spring water when soaking snails—using salt water will cause their shells to close and prevent proper cleaning.
  • Do not boil snails for more than 4 minutes, or the meat will become difficult to remove.
  • Mash the mugwort with the soybean paste seasoning in advance to eliminate its raw bitterness and sliminess, ensuring the broth remains smooth and balanced.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing, savory tonic soup perfect for summer.
  • People who want a clean, deep-flavored broth without any bitterness from snails.
  • Individuals looking for a stomach-soothing hangover cure.
