Step 1
If using frozen gopchang, thaw completely. Blanch cleaned intestines in boiling salted water for 5-7 minutes until tender but still chewy. Drain and pat dry.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, gochugaru, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds.
Step 3
Add blanched gopchang to marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Heat a charcoal grill, gas grill, or cast iron griddle to high heat (450°F/230°C).
Step 5
Arrange gopchang on grill or griddle in a single layer. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until edges are lightly charred and exterior is crispy.
Step 6
Transfer to serving platter and drizzle with remaining marinade from the bowl.
Step 7
Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with rice, lettuce leaves for wrapping, and Korean dipping sauces like ssamjang.
