Bopis commonly use pig’s internal organs like lungs, spleen and heart and chopped in small pieces and cooked. But this recipe I have use beef innards, the same as the pig’s innards as I’ve mentioned above.
Since the process of cooking this dish is a bit tricky and you have to get rid of the smell, not everyone is fond on cooking this dish. It has to be spicy and cook it almost dry. But many still loves the exotic taste of this dish and I’m one of them.
