A single serving can combine half a dozen different textures — tripe, tendon, lung, intestine — all simmered together in one broth.

Various cuts of beef offal are simmered for hours in a spiced, savory broth until tender, then sliced and served with a dipping sauce or over rice noodles.

Why it's made this way: Using offal cuts allowed vendors to sell an inexpensive, flavorful street food, turning a resourceful choice into a beloved comfort food.
