Sundae, a steamed Korean blood sausage filled with meat, rice, and vegetables, is one of Korea’s most popular street foods.
While the traditional version features a pig intestine casing filled with blood clots, vegetables, and spices, alternative versions are more popular, typically stuffed with glass noodles and containing less blood.
Sundae is often enjoyed alongside tteokbokki, rice cakes in spicy sauce, at street stalls. Nowadays, frozen sundae is easily found in supermarkets, making it more convenient for those wanting to enjoy it at home.
While the smell and the sight of the intestine casing might make some hesitant to try it, sundae is actually incredibly popular among locals, young and old, men and women.
Dipping sauces for sundae vary by region. In Seoul, it’s common to dip sundae in salt, while in Gyeongsang Province, ssamjang sauce is the typical choice.
