Directions
-
"In a number of cultures cooks
-
stuff the small intestine of the cow, sheep or pig and
-
boil ,
-
bake or roast it.
-
In Tunisia, this is known as "merguez", in Eastern Europe as "kishke", in Indonesia, it is the spectacular "usus" in coconut milk.
-
The "soonday" of Korea is entirely different.
-
It originated in the cold climate of mountainous North Korea where the intestines of the wild mountain pigs were used.
-
Now it's prepared all over the country and brought in large buckets to the public markets of Pusan, Kyongu, Seoul, Taegu and elsewhere.
-
This sausage stuffing is made of rice, seasonings and beef or pork blood (or substitute 8 ounces canned tomato puree).
-
Clean the intestine as received from your butcher once again.
-
Rinse well in cold water, then
-
soak in lightly salted water for 1 hour; this makes the intestine firm and easier to handle.
-
Tie up one end firmly with cotton string.
-
Prepare the stuffing.
-
Mix the cooked rice, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, sesame oil, sesame seeds, scallions and either blook or tomato puree.
-
stuff the intestine either by machine or by a funnel ~- forcing the stuffing along the entire length.
-
Do not fill too tightly since the intestine may split in cooking when the rice expands.
-
Tie the open end firmly.
-
The intestine may also be stuffed as individual sausages in which case it is
-
cut into the desired lengths, tied, filled and tied again.
-
Place the soonday in a large pan, curling it around like a snail.
-
Cover it with lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
-
Then turn to low and cook uncovered for 3/4 hour.
-
At the end of this time, insert a skewer in the soonday to test for doneness.
-
As when testing a cake, if the skewer is dry and the soonday is firm to pressure, it is done.
-
Cut diagonally into 1/4-inch thick slices and serve warm or at room temperature (warm is better).
-
Serve on festive occasions especially after the harvest of rice, cabbage (or whatever is being grown) with your favorite Korean
