Super Easy Sausage Kimchi Rice Pancakes Recipe for Beginners, Perfect for Air Fryer
Let me share a super simple recipe for Sausage Kimchi Rice Pancakes, a favorite dish of my eldest child! It’s incredibly easy to make, perfect for a quick meal or snack.
Main Ingredients- Well-fermented Kimchi: 1/3 cup (standard paper cup)
- Vienna Sausages: 8 pcs
- Cooked Rice: 1 cup (warm rice)
- Sesame Seeds: a pinch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Slice 8 Vienna sausages into thin, round pieces, about 0.5 cm thick. Slicing them this way makes them look appealing and delicious.
Step 2
Finely chop 1/3 cup of kimchi using scissors into pieces smaller than 0.5 cm. It’s best to chop it small so it mixes well with the rice.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine about half of the chopped kimchi and half of the sliced Vienna sausages. If your kimchi is very sour, you can add 1/2 tsp of sugar to enhance the flavor.
Step 4
Add the soy sauce (1 Tbsp) to the mixture. This will start to season the filling.
Step 5
Add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a fragrant aroma.
Step 6
Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds and mix everything well. Microwave for 1 minute to help the kimchi absorb the seasonings and soften slightly.
Step 7
Add 1 cup of warm cooked rice to the microwaved kimchi mixture. Gently break up any clumps of rice as you mix.
Step 8
Mix the rice and kimchi seasoning thoroughly with a spatula or spoon. Add another 1 Tbsp of sesame oil at this stage to give the rice a glossy sheen and savory flavor. You’ll be using a total of 2 Tbsp sesame oil.
Step 9
Lay a piece of parchment paper (or baking paper) flat. Spread the kimchi rice mixture thinly and evenly over the paper, about 0.5 cm to 1 cm thick. Spreading it wide and thin will help it become crispy when cooked.
Step 10
Arrange the remaining Vienna sausage slices decoratively on top of the spread kimchi rice. Think of it like decorating a pizza – this makes it look even more appetizing, especially for kids.
Step 11
Place the rice pancake in an air fryer and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 12
Once cooked, your delicious Sausage Kimchi Rice Pancake is ready to enjoy! Let it cool slightly before eating to achieve the best crispy texture. This pancake is a perfect balance of spicy, savory, and crispy. It makes a satisfying meal or snack!
