Soondae

 People enjoy pork. But have you seen somebody who enjoys pig intestines? Koreans always eat this as their meal or snack. Take a look at soondae, a popular Korean street food.

First, many foreigners wonder how soondae is made. Soondae is made from pig intestines which are boiled before cooking. They are then stuffed with cellophane noodles, barley and pig blood! At this point I bet some of you are asking' How do they eat this?!!!' However Koreans say that ancestors have eaten this hundreds of years ago and basically it has become a culture.







Like kimchi, soondae is also cooked differently in different places. For instance, places near the sea has soondae wrapped with squid or fish that are caught in that area. Also, some restaurants that provide soondae serves it as soup or fry it with vegetables


 

 

You may find these dishes unique but I could recommend some dishes if you have a chance to visit Korea!!
