Haejang-guk (Korean: 해장국) or hangover soup refers to every kind of guk or soup eaten as a hangover cure in Korean cuisine. It means "soup to chase a hangover" and is also called sulguk (술국). It usually consists of dried napa cabbage, vegetables and meat in a hearty beef broth. One type of haejangguk, seonjiguk, includes sliced congealed ox blood (similar to black pudding), and another type, sundaeguk, includes blood sausage made with intestine stuffed with pig's blood and other ingredients.
