Soybean noodle soup

 

Summer specialty, Kongguksu (cold soybean noodle soup), is a cool and savory dish that is best enjoyed in summer as a nourishing summer food.

Soybeans are composed of 40% protein, and protein is a nutrient that plays an important role in the human body's production of immune substances.

It helps boost immunity, which tends to decline easily during the summer.

Additionally, soybeans are rich in nutrients such as magnesium, iron, and calcium, making them effective foods for replenishing energy depleted by the heat.

The soybean broth that greatly influences the taste of kongguksu is made by boiling soybeans, so it is full of nutrients.

Research shows that boiling beans increases the content of the essential amino acid tryptophan by about 6 to 7%.

When eating kongguksu, please don't forget to enjoy the broth as well and drink it thoroughly.

Chueotang (loach soup)

 

Spicy and refreshing chueotang (loach soup) is good to eat anytime, but it is especially popular as a summer health food.

The main ingredient of chueotang, the loach, contains a large amount of calcium and high-quality protein.

Especially, mudfish are rare among animal foods in that they are full of vitamin A.

Vitamin A enhances resistance to bacteria, protects the skin, and strengthens the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.

Additionally, chueotang is made by grinding whole mudfish, which is rich in calcium, thus helping with calcium intake.

Duck meat

 

Duck meat has been recorded since ancient times as a noble summer health food served on the king's table.

The Dongui Bogam states that herbal medicine has the effect of restoring a weak body and promoting healthy blood circulation.

Additionally, duck meat is rich in a component called lecithin.

Lecithin is said to detoxify various toxins in the body and especially assist the detoxification ability of the kidneys.

Modern people accumulate a lot of acidic substances in their bodies due to stress and metabolic processes.

These substances cause aging or cancer in the body, but duck meat is an alkaline meat that helps purify the blood.

It contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, which help dissolve the sticky fat deposits inside our blood vessels.

This is a food that helps prevent vascular diseases, strokes, and heart diseases.

abalone

 

Abalone is rich in amino acids such as taurine, arginine, methionine, and cysteine.

Abalone has a variety of benefits as well as its excellent taste. It is effective in eye health, blood pressure, and cholesterol level management.

It contains glutamate, which is low in calories and good for dieting, and also supplies nutrients to the brain, helping to clear the mind.

Additionally, abalone, which is rich in minerals such as zinc that are good for eliminating heavy metals from the body, is especially beneficial to consume on days with heavy fine dust.

Since it is summer, if not properly cooked, there is a risk of food poisoning, so be sure to cook thoroughly and avoid eating internal organs.

Ginseng chicken soup

 

Samgyetang, the representative dish of the hottest days, can truly be called the best summer health food.

It is a summer health food that is good for consuming high-quality protein contained in chicken, with a mild taste that is easy to digest.

The main ingredients of Samgyetang, chicken and ginseng, have a very good nutritional synergy.

Ginseng tenderizes the texture of chicken and removes the gamey smell of the chicken with its unique aroma.

Additionally, ginseng is rich in saponins, which have effects such as boosting immunity, improving blood circulation, and relieving fatigue.

Consuming it together with high-protein foods like chicken helps boost metabolism and aids in strengthening a weakened body.
