Instructions

1

Place the sausage in hot (not boiling) water to warm through for 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then slice into rounds.

Tip: Boiling water can cause the casing to burst. Use a sharp knife to slice without crushing.
2

Sauté chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until fragrant.

Tip: Building an aromatic base is key.
3

Add the cooked rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry until combined.

Tip: Fry the rice until it gets slightly crisp, similar to fried rice.
4

Gently fold in the sausage slices and toss just until heated through.

Tip: Be gentle to keep the sausage pieces intact.
5

Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.

Tip: Best enjoyed hot.

Recipe FAQ

The sausage fell apart.
You may have stirred too vigorously. Soondae filling (noodles, blood) is soft; handle gently and add it towards the end of cooking.
