×Gopchang Gui (grilled beef intestine)

Why you must eat itCleaned beef small intestine is grilled slowly on iron plate or mesh until crisp outside while keeping its fat within. A bite gives spring, then rendered fat, closed off by a salt-and-sesame-oil dip with green chilli and raw garlic. Grilled with onion and garlic chives it turns sweeter, and many shops fry rice in the leftover fat to finish. In an alley thick with smoke and aroma, waiting around the plate for the right char is part of the pleasure. Paired with soju or beer, the seats fill as the market night deepens.
