As temperatures hit upwards of 90 degrees, Korean New Yorkers are turning to age-old summer staples — steaming hot health foods — for energy.

In Korea, foods like ginseng chicken soup, mudfish stew, black goat stew and abalones, full of nutrition, are believed to help invigorate energy lowered by the heat of summer.

Menus across Korean restaurants and markets are reflecting the demand for these staples, with many offering discount lunch specials.

“We added a lunch health food menu as customers looking for health foods increased in the summer,” said Hwang Sun-ja, owner of Flushing restaurant Su Ra Chung. The BBQ joint has begun offering lunch specials for foods like ginseng soup and duck soup at lower prices. “We’ve seen some damage, but we’re providing them as a summertime service so customers can enjoy them at an affordable price.”

Others are buying pre-prepared meals of seasoned eel, abalone porridge and chicken ginseng soup at Korean markets, where sales have jumped among a younger crowd reluctant to cook from scratch.

The variety of ginseng chicken soups available in markets will diversify following a USDA ruling in March that allows for processed poultry imports straight from Korea, a market spokesman said.

    yes..I like the basic concepts behind Second Life but it seems incredibly outdated and when I played it was intensely non-intuitive / user friendly to an extent that made EVE look like a game for toddlers. thanks from
