Step 1
Rinse the 1.5 lb beef tripe and cut into bite-sized pieces. Slice the 4 garlic cloves and chop the 1 large tomato; set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the tripe, 2 cups water, and 3 tbsp gochujang. Stir to dissolve the paste, then bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low, add the sliced garlic, chopped tomato, 3 kaffir lime leaves, and 2 whole red chili peppers. Cover and simmer gently.
Step 4
Cook until the tripe is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 40 minutes. The tripe should be easily pierced with a fork.
Step 5
Slice the 4 green onions into 1-inch pieces and stir them into the pot. Cook for 2 more minutes until the onions are just wilted.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Serve hot, spooning the spicy sauce over rice or noodles.
