Sundae-guk

순대국

What exactly is it?

Sundae sausage is served in hot broth with pork and often offal. It is not necessarily a sausage-only soup: head meat, lung or intestine may be included. The sausage filling and meat selection change both aroma and texture.

Main ingredients

Sundae sausage, pork and offal, pork broth, green onion

Ordering and serving

Before ordering, ask whether a sausage-only or meat-only bowl is possible if you avoid offal. Add perilla powder, salted shrimp or chili paste gradually after tasting. Check whether rice is included.

Origins and changes

The dish brings filled-intestine sundae together with pork-and-rice soup. The market practice of eating sausage with other pork cuts also appears in this soup format. Sausage fillings and condiments differ by region.
