Gopchang-jeongol[1] (곱창전골) or beef tripe hot pot[1] is a spicy Korean stew or casserole made by boiling beef tripe, vegetables, and seasonings in beef broth.[2][3] Gopchang refers to beef small intestines,[4][5] while jeongol refers to a category of stew or casserole in Korean cuisine.[6] Although the dish is mainly based on beef gopchang, other parts of beef innards are also used to give the dish a richer flavor and chewy texture.[7]

To remove any odor and excessive fat in the dish, any white fat adhering to the intestines should be meticulously cleaned out by rubbing them with wheat flour and salt and washing them several times.[8][9] Since cooking the dish requires not only specialized cooking techniques and a great deal of labor to prepare, but also very fresh ingredients, gopchang jeongol is generally eaten at restaurants specializing in beef innards dishes.[5] The dish, which is seasoned with a hot and spicy red chili-based sauce, is served as a main entrée, accompanied with a bowl of steamed rice.[3] It is often shared between several diners on the center of the table, and is also a popular anju when drinking alcoholic beverages such as soju in South Korea.[3][9]
