You will likely not find Korean stir-fried sausage served at a restaurant anywhere but in Korea.
I had almost forgotten about it, too ! It was sometimes served as a
banchan (a small Korean side dish ; you get several of them with every meal) at the lunch cafeteria or in restaurants. I was always happy when a small plate of cute mini sausages and bell pepper appeared ; although quite simple, with a straight-forward ketchup and gochujang sauce, the taste was comforting and you kept wanting more of them.
In our modern lives though, I dare you to find the time to cook a main dish, 3 to 4
banchans and a soup, which is a basic Korean meal ! Therefore, I consider this Korean stir-fried sausage as a main dish, that you can accompany with rice.
Korean adults like to pair these sausages with beer. I concur !
Korean Stir-fried Sausage - Recipe
Ingredients - Advice & key points
- Sausages:
- I recommend using mini Vienna sausages for this dish, which you might find at a Korean store ; but you can really go for any kind of mini sausages you can find in your country, so long as they're quite soft and bouncy instead of hard and crumbly ! Yes, we want overprocessed meat for this one. This is not a healthy meal, I must comfess !
- The small size and the three cuts on your sausages are not just for cuteness purposes ; this will get you easy-to-grab, saucy sausages that will be pleasant and handy to eat !
- This dish is spicy, but not crazy spicy. If you want to lower the heat, reduce or remove the Gochujang amount, and replace it with the same amount of ketchup !
How to eat Korean Stir-fried Sausage
- You can eat it over a bowl of rice, or with rice on the side.
- Feel free to serve this dish as an appetizer -or a banchan within a true Korean meal, of course !
- You can definitely eat it cold, but I like it better quite warm.
