Sundae (Korean pronunciation: [sʰundɛ], also romanised in anglicism as soondae) is a Korean dish made generally by boiling or steaming cow or pig's intestines that are stuffed with various ingredients. It is a kind of blood sausage and believed to have been eaten for a long time. The recipes related to sundae can be found in Joseon cookbooks published in 19th century such as "Gyuhap chongseo" and "Siuijeonseo".[1]

Sundae can be made with seafood such as ojing-eo sundae (오징어 순대 squid sundae) and myeongtae sundae (명태 순대 Alaska pollock sundae).[1]

The most common type of sundae is made of pig's intestines stuffed with cellophane noodles (dangmyeon), barley, and pork blood,[2] although some variants also contain perilla leaves, scallions (pa), fermented soybean paste (doenjang), glutinous rice, kimchi, and soybean sprouts. It is a popular street food in North Korea and South Korea. In Seoul, there is a neighborhood called Sundae Town in Sillim-dong, which has many restaurants specializing in sundae.[3]

Koreans usually eat sundae with tteokbokki sauce. Many restaurants have a menu item called "tteok-twi-sun," which contains tteokbokki, fries and sundae.
