Lim Sung-geun's Olgangi Jajangguk

A traditional Chungcheong-style hangover soup made by removing the bitterness from water dropwort with salt and boiling it thoroughly with the entire broth from boiled olgangi, resulting in a deep and refreshing flavor.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Rub water dropwort firmly with salt until its breath seems completely gone—this prevents toughness and removes bitterness completely.
  • The blue liquid inside the olgangi package is essential for umami and freshness—never discard it; always pour it into the broth for depth of flavor.
  • Adding just a small amount of ginger juice perfectly masks the pungent aroma of doenjang, leaving the broth clean and refreshing.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a deep, clear, and refreshing broth to soothe the stomach after drinking.
  • Those wanting to create a nutritious spring delicacy using abundant water dropwort and olgangi.
