Korean-style Tripe #SundaySupper

Course: Main
Cuisine: Korean
Author: Amy Kim | kimchi MOM

Ingredients

  • 1-1.5 lb. honeycomb beef tripe
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Kosher salt
  • Cooking oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/4 cup kochujang
  • 3 stalks green onions cut into 2-inch lengths
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds
  • 1-2 teaspoons sesame oil

Instructions

  • In a colander, generously sprinkle the tripe with Kosher salt and half of the amount of flour. Scrub the tripe like you're scrubbing a stubborn stain out. Rinse with cold water, repeat the scrubbing with salt and the remaining flour, and rinse again.
  • In a large pot, add the tripe and add enough water so that there is 1 to 2 inches above the tripe. Bring it to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour or when the tripe is tender - when a chopstick or butter knife can easily pierce the tripe. When tripe is overcooked, it becomes a gelatinous mush, so keep an eye on it while it's simmering.
  • Drain and rinse the tripe in a colander. Cut the tripe into thin slices.
  • Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, salt, and green onions and sauté until the onions are softened and translucent.
  • Add the kochujang and tripe, and stir until the tripe is coated. Add enough water so that the mixture gets nice and saucy.
  • Take the skillet off the heat. Stir in sesame oil. Top with sesame seeds before serving.
