Makchang

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Makchang is a Korean grilled dish made from beef abomasum, the fourth stomach chamber of cattle, or from pork rectum; the grilled preparation itself is called makchang-gui, and the name literally means last viscus. It is said to have originated in Daegu and the surrounding Gyeongsang province, and tradition holds that King Seonjo of the Joseon dynasty enjoyed it at his coronation. Before grilling, the meat is cleaned of odor and excess fat, sometimes pre-boiled in water seasoned with doenjang, onions and medicinal herbs, or marinated in a fruit-based sauce. It is typically seasoned with doenjang, scallions, and a dipping sauce of doenjang, ground beans, ground red pepper and chopped scallions, and is commonly eaten as an accompaniment to drinking.
