Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Before stir-frying the pollack in sesame oil, be sure to soak it in water and squeeze out the moisture. This prevents burning and allows the nutty sesame oil flavor to penetrate thoroughly.
  • Using rice water instead of plain water as the broth makes the soup much milky and richer, bringing out a deep, savory flavor.
  • Adding Cheongyang chili peppers eliminates the fishy taste typical of dried pollack and egg, resulting in a much cleaner and spicier hangover soup.

Recommended for

  • For those looking for a refreshing and spicy hangover cure the morning after heavy drinking.
  • For those wanting a rich and deep-flavored soup using only rice water without complex stock.
