In Korea, I was fairly limited in what I could eat, largely because of my infant's understanding of Korean. I mostly ate what people would order for me, at restaurants that had English and/or picture menus, and at restaurants I went to so often I didn't even need to order any more.
So far, it's been awesome eating here at home, but there are two foods I find myself missing, even in this first week back.
And they're both known as "Hangover Soups".
Hae Jang Guk and Soondae Gook.
I already wrote a post about them in my other blog, Ruh Rok ROK (see post here), so I won't rehash it all here, but definitely check it out, plus some pictures I took while in Korea... Sorry about the photo quality!
Hae Jang Guk 해장국
A friend enjoying the soup and the side goodies: VERY spicy kimchi, marinated onions, radish kimchi, and spicy mustard sauce

Soondae Guk 순대 국
The full spread: Soup, rice, chilis, red pepper paste, unfermented kimchi, and marinated onions
A piece of the soonade itself-- YUM!!
I found a recipe online for Hae Jang Guk, but I think it'll be hard to pull off in America. Do I dare try??
