Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

  1. Clean the dried pollack, rinse it in water and drain. Trim and wash the soybean sprouts, and slice the cheongyang chili pepper on the diagonal.
  2. Pour water into a pot, add the dried pollack and radish and boil, then remove the solids from the broth and dissolve the low-sodium doenjang in it.
  3. Add the soybean sprouts, minced garlic and cheongyang chili pepper, cover with the lid, and boil until steam rises.
💡 TipUsing low-sodium doenjang instead of salt when cooking hwangtae hangover soup gives a less salty soup with deep savory flavor. Good hwangtae is yellowish in color with tender flesh. Store it in the freezer, or tightly sealed in a dry, cool place.
