Sundae Bokkeum

순대볶음
Sun-dae Bok-keum

Stir-fried blood sausage with vegetables

About the dish

Sundae bokkeum stir-fries Korean blood sausage with vegetables and nutty perilla-seed powder in a spicy sauce on a hot griddle. Alongside tteokbokki, it is one of the heartiest and most beloved dishes of the bunsik snack bar.

Key ingredient

Pork — with about ten times the vitamin B1 of beef, it fights fatigue and fuels energy metabolism; quality protein and methionine support the liver, while unsaturated fats help help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Good year-round, mainly from Jeju & the Jirisan area.
