Main Ingredients- 250g prepared Korean blood sausage (Sundae) (Choose your favorite type, like tteokbokki-style or vegetable sundae)
- 5 Tbsp tomato ketchup (Provides a sweet and tangy base)
- 1/4 medium onion, thinly sliced (Adds sweetness and flavor)
- 1 Korean chili pepper (Cheongyang pepper), finely chopped (Optional: for a spicy kick. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (Generously topped for a rich, cheesy finish)
- Pinch of dried parsley flakes (For garnish and a subtle herbaceous aroma)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the aromatics for our sausage casserole. Peel the onion and slice it thinly into strips. If you’re using a Korean chili pepper, remove its stem and seeds, then finely chop it for a spicy touch. (For a milder flavor, ensure all seeds are removed.)
Step 2
To make cleanup a breeze, we’ll prepare the cooking vessel. Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper, shaping it into a makeshift dish. This simple step will make washing up afterwards much easier.
Step 3
Now, let’s assemble our delicious sausage casserole. Arrange the prepared sausage pieces attractively in the parchment-lined basket. Sprinkle the sliced onions and chopped chili pepper (if using) evenly over the sausage. Next, generously drizzle about 5 tablespoons of tomato ketchup over everything. Finally, top it all off with a good amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, letting it cascade over the ingredients.
Step 4
It’s time to let the air fryer work its magic! Set the air fryer temperature to 180°C (356°F) and cook for approximately 10 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the cheese is beautifully melted and golden, and the sausage and vegetables are thoroughly heated through. (Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so it’s a good idea to check halfway through.)
Step 5
Carefully remove the hot sausage casserole from the air fryer. Transfer the entire parchment-lined dish onto a serving plate. For a final flourish and a hint of freshness, sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley flakes over the top. Your delicious and unique sausage casserole is now ready to be enjoyed immediately while it’s warm and gooey!
