Two of her favorite dishes are suyuk – tender, melt-in-your-mouth boiled or steamed pork served with fresh kimchi, pickled radish, raw garlic, green chili peppers, and dipped in savory ssamjang bean paste – and sundae, a traditional Korean sausage made from pork intestine stuffed with glass noodles, glutinous rice, pig’s blood, and vegetables.
