Small intestine. The milky fat packed inside is called gop in Korean, and the cut takes its name from it. That fat melting on the grill is the whole point — scraped-clean intestine is an empty name. Narrower and less oily than the large intestine beside it.

Recommended cooking
Medium heat, patientCooked through
Blast it on high heat and the outside chars before the fat flows. A gentle first pass, then a second sear, almost never fails.
How to pick it
Plump pieces stuffed with fat. Thin and translucent means the gop is already gone.
