Trim 1 cm off enoki stems, separate into small bundles, wash and drain. Cut cooked tripe into thin strips, about 0.5 cm wide. Crush and mince garlic.
Boil water over high heat, add 1 tsp salt and oil. Blanch enoki 40 sec until soft, then shock in ice water. Drain and squeeze.
In a small bowl, combine garlic, chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and sesame oil. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve to make dressing.
Place enoki and tripe in a large bowl. Pour dressing over, then scatter cilantro and sesame seeds.
Toss well with chopsticks to coat evenly. Serve immediately. Crunchy, tangy, and aromatic.
Tips
