Ingredients
- 1 bowl cooked white rice
- 1 cup kimchi
- 200 g pure meat grilled sausage
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 red onion
- 2 tbsp Korean hot sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 300 ml milk
- 1 slice cheese
- to taste chopped green onions
- to taste seaweed flakes
- to taste toasted sesame seeds
- as needed cooking oil
Instructions
- 1Sauté the Aromatics
Pour minced garlic and chopped red onion from a bowl into a pan with heated oil, then stir-fry them until they become fragrant.
Tip: Make sure the oil is hot before adding the aromatics to release their full flavor quickly. - 2Prepare the Grilled Sausage
Slice the pure meat grilled sausages and arrange them neatly on a plate, ready to be added to the pan.
Tip: Using pure meat sausages provides a richer flavor and pairs perfectly with kimchi. - 3Stir-Fry the Sausage
Add the sliced sausages into the pan with the sautéed garlic and red onions, stirring continuously with a wooden spatula until aromatic.
Tip: Stir-fry until the sausage slices develop a light sear for enhanced taste. - 4Add the Kimchi
Add kimchi into the pan containing the stir-fried sausage and aromatics, then mix well.
Tip: Kimchi needs oil to taste truly good, making the combination with sausage and pork fat ideal. - 5Season the Dish
Season the mixture in the pan by adding Korean hot sauce, ketchup, and light soy sauce.
Tip: Adjust the hot sauce quantity based on your preferred level of spiciness. - 6Pour in Milk
Pour about 300ml of milk from a bottle directly into the simmering pan mixture.
Tip: Adding milk gives the dish a creamy, rich texture that balances the sweet and spicy flavor profile. - 7Add Cooked Rice
Take a bowl of cooked white rice and invert it directly into the simmering kimchi and sausage sauce mixture in the pan.
Tip: Inverting a tightly packed bowl of rice makes it easier to mix evenly into the thick sauce. - 8Mix and Garnish the Rice
Thoroughly stir and mix the rice into the sauce until every grain is evenly coated and heated through, then sprinkle chopped green onions on top.
Tip: Stir continuously on medium heat to let the rice absorb all the flavors without burning at the bottom.
