HOW TO COOK MAKCHANG GUI (RECIPE)

Makchang Gui is another kind of grilled dish from Korea. But unlike samgyeopsal, Makchang Gui is not made of pork belly but instead, pig's large intestine is used. Sauce is important for this dish since it is a grilled one thus some things are similar to what we call barbecue in the west. This Makchang gui is commonly served with chopped scallions or green onions. I am not sure about the sauce because I have not tried Makchang Gui from Korea because I haven't been there but as i looked up for it in the internet, your ordinary barbecue or hot chili sauce can be just right for this dish. On making this dish, we are going to use the intestine so I wold like to say that preparing the intestine thoroughly is a necessary because the intestine has unwanted smell and the inside is slimy so turn it inside out when cleaning it to get rid of those. Here is the recipe:
