A Brief History of Haejangguk

A soup very similar to Haejangguk appeared sometime during the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392). The description of seongjutang, a "soup to get sober" (from historical records of the time) gives these details; "thinly sliced meat, noodles, scallions, and powder of cheoncho [천초 Sichuan pepper (or Szechuan pepper)] in a broth.", which resembles contemporary Haejangguk.

Paintings, poetry, and some written documents from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) refer to other "hangover soups" that were served to commoners, officials, and nobility.

One such soup, Hyojonggaeng (dawn bell soup), was delivered to a house of Jaesang (officials of higher rank) in Seoul at the ringing of the dawn bell, possibly to relieve the effects of a night of drinking.

This soup was made with the inner parts of baechu (napa cabbage), kongnamul (soybean sprouts), beoseot (mushrooms), galbi (beef ribs), haesam (sea cucumber), and jeonbok (abalone).
