[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Haevichi Hotel & Resort announced on the 11th that Suun, a Korean restaurant operated in Jongno-gu, Seoul, will hold a 'Dish of the Month from the Noble Family' promotion, presenting dishes from yangban (noble class) families introduced in ancient cookbooks with a modern reinterpretation.


Suun stated, "As a Korean restaurant that carries on the tradition of Korean cuisine, we prepared this promotion to continuously introduce dishes that embody the culture and elegance of the Joseon Dynasty noble families featured in ancient cookbooks."


The first promotional menu is 'Hyojonggaeng,' a health-boosting dish enjoyed by noble families during the transitional season. It will be available until the end of next month. Hyojonggaeng is recorded in the late Joseon period literature Haedongjukji as a soup that was simmered overnight around the Namhansanseong area and delivered to large noble households inside the Four Great Gates at dawn. This soup contains a variety of delicacies and is known for its restorative and nourishing qualities.


At Suun, Hyojonggaeng is prepared based on the recipe recorded in Haedongjukji, enhanced with seasonal health-boosting ingredients. It includes beef short ribs, abalone from Wando, wild pine mushrooms, white wood ear mushrooms, fresh ginseng sprouts, ginkgo nuts, jujubes, and is simmered for a long time to blend the rich meat aroma with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.



Meanwhile, Suun also newly offers dishes using the seasonal ingredient 'agwi' (monkfish). They introduced 'Baek Agwijjim' (steamed monkfish without any seasoning) and 'Clear Agwitang' (clear monkfish soup), highlighting the natural flavors. Agwijjim is made with a light clam broth, augmented with bang-a leaves and omandong to add unique aroma and umami. Agwitang is a refreshing clear soup enjoyed with bean sprouts, water parsley, and radish.
