Know Your Korean Food: Your Cure for a Hangover: Mung Bean Sprout Rice Soup
A common hangover cure in Korea is Mung Bean Sprout and Rice Soup (Kongnamul Gukbap 콩나물국밥). Mung Bean Sprouts are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, so they are a natural way to help you get rid of the bends after a night of drinking. 
Jeonju (a south-western city in Korea) is famous for this dish. Jeonju-style Kongnamul-gukbap is served with a sunny-side-up egg. You add some of the rice and the beansprouts to the egg and then mix and eat it. The egg yolk will coat your stomach to relax it and so will the hot soup. Overall, this dish is very mild in taste.
The flavoring agent to this soup is salted shrimp. These little shrimps add texture and seasoning to this mild dish. Kongnamul-gukbap really works to cure hangovers. When I'm really out of it after a night of drinking, it's my godsend. Oh, the dish is also good if you are not hungover as well.Dan
5 of the Best Jajangmyeon 짜장면 in the City of Seoul, Korea
The Best Jajamyeon in Seoul by Daniel Gray Jajangmyeon 짜장면: Korea's favorite hand pulled noodles in an black sauce is also a favorite dish of mine. It's so famous they even have a holiday for it. It's filling and hearty like a bowl of spaghetti but with Asian flair. It's one of those dishes that you can get whenever you need a quick meal and it doesn't break the wallet. It's a pretty ubiquitous dish and every Chinese restaurant must have it. If it does it well, the place becomes famous. If it is just alright, it is just a meal and gets classed in with all of the other places in the city. I can't say I have had any seriously terrible jajangmyeons except maybe some delivery places (where the noodles are overcooked and terribly clumped together so it takes like 10 minutes to get the sauce mixed into it) but even then it is still edible. With the noodles, I love to get fried dumplings and a place is good fried dumplings or some other sides like tangsuyok
