Sundae (Korean: 순대 [sun.dɛ], sometimes anglicized as soondae) is a type of blood sausage in Korean cuisine[1].[2] It is a popular street food in both North and South Korea,[3][4] generally made by steaming cow or pig's intestines stuffed with various ingredients.[5]
History
The sundae sausage dates back to the Goryeo period (918–1392), when wild boars, prominent across the Korean Peninsula, were used in the dish.[6] Recipes for sundae are found in nineteenth century cookbooks including Gyuhap chongseo and Siuijeonseo.[7]
Traditional sundae, cow or pig intestines stuffed with seonji (blood), minced meats, rice, and vegetables, was an indulgent food consumed during special occasions, festivities and large family gatherings.[8] After the Korean War, when meat was scarce during the period of post-war poverty, dangmyeon replaced meat fillings in South Korea. Sundae became an inexpensive street snack sold in bunsikjip (snack bars), pojangmacha (street stalls), and traditional markets.[8][9]
Varieties
Traditional varieties, as well as North Korean, Russian Korean (Koryo-saram and Sakhalin Korean),[10] and Chinese Korean sundae fillings include seonji (blood), minced meat, rice, and vegetables. Modern South Korean varieties often use dangmyeon (glass noodles) instead of meat, rice, and vegetables.[11][12][13][14] Other fillings include kkaennip (perilla leaves), scallions, doenjang (soybean paste), kimchi, and soybean sprouts.[15]
Regional varieties include abai-sundae (아바이순대) from the Hamgyong and Pyongan Provinces,[8] Kaesong-sundae (개성순대) from Kaesong, Baegam-sundae (백암순대) from Yongin, Jeju-sundae (제주순대) from Jeju Island, Byeongcheon-sundae (병천순대) from Chungcheong Province, and amppong-sundae (암뽕순대) from Jeolla Province.[16]
Some varieties use seafood as casing.[15] Ojingeo-sundae (오징어순대), made with fresh squid, is a local specialty of Gangwon, while mareun-ojingeo-sundae (마른오징어순대) made with dried squid is eaten in Gangwon as well as Gyeonggi.[7][15] Myeongtae-sundae (명태순대), made with Alaska pollock is a local specialty of Gangwon and Hamgyong.[7][15] Eogyo-sundae (어교순대) is made with the swim bladder of brown croakers.[15][17]
Accompaniments
In South Korea, sundae is often steamed and served with steamed offals such as gan (liver) and heopa (lung).[8] Sliced pieces of sundae and sides are dipped in salt-black pepper mixture (Seoul), in vinegar-gochujang mixture (Honam), seasoned soybean paste in Yeongnam, and soy sauce in Jeju.[18] As sundae is often sold in bunsikjip, along with tteok-bokki (stir-fried rice cakes) and twigim (fritters), it is also dipped in tteok-bokki sauce. Many bunsikjip offer tteok-twi-sun, a set menu with tteok-bokki, twigim and sundae.
