양 · Beef tripe

Beef tripe

양

What exactly is it?

At a yang-daechang restaurant, yang means beef tripe, not lamb. Grilling tripe gives a firm, resilient chew that contrasts with fatty large intestine. Teukyang highlights a thicker selected part of the tripe.

Main ingredients

Beef tripe, salt or marinade, garlic, scallion

Ordering and serving

If you want lamb, look for yanggalbi instead. Cut grilled tripe into manageable pieces and use a little dipping sauce to compare its texture with other cuts.

Origins and changes

It is part of the cut-by-cut vocabulary of beef-offal restaurants. Yang-daechang combines tripe and large intestine in a restaurant name or an order, rather than naming one single cut.

Gopchang

곱창

Main ingredients: Beef or pork intestines, salt or seasoning, chives and onion
Flavor and character: Beef gopchang refers to small intestine, grilled for its rich flavor and chew. Pork gopchang menus may instead serve intestines stir-fried with vegetables and glass noodles. Check the animal and preparation, not just the shared name.
How to eat it: Even pre-grilled pieces may need finishing; follow the staff’s instructions. An assorted platter contains more than gopchang, so ask for a cut guide if it is your first order.
