Main Ingredients- 1 pack Sundae (Korean blood sausage, store-bought)

- 1/2 onion

- 1/2 cabbage
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the ingredients for our delicious Stir-Fried Sundae! Get 1 pack of sundae from the supermarket. You can choose your favorite type of sundae.
Step 2
First, we’ll make the sauce that will give our sundae stir-fry its amazing flavor. Add 3 tablespoons of gochujang to a bowl.
Step 3
Next, add 3 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). If you prefer a spicier kick, you can mix 1 tablespoon of Cheongyang chili flakes with 2 tablespoons of regular gochugaru for a more intense heat.
Step 4
Add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce for a savory depth. Soy sauce is the foundation of the dish’s flavor, so don’t skip it!
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of oligodang (or corn syrup) for a glossy finish and gentle sweetness. Oligodang provides a smoother sweetness than sugar and gives the dish a lovely sheen.
Step 6
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to further enhance the sweetness. You can adjust the ratio of oligodang to sugar according to your preference.
Step 7
Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce for an extra layer of umami. Oyster sauce is a secret weapon for adding deep, savory flavors to dishes!
Step 8
Stir in 1 tablespoon of perilla oil (or sesame oil) for a nutty and aromatic touch. Adding it towards the end preserves its wonderful fragrance.
Step 9
Add 2 tablespoons of mirin (rice wine) to help tenderize the sundae and eliminate any potential gaminess.
Step 10
Add a generous 1 tablespoon of minced garlic for a fragrant boost. Garlic really elevates the flavor profile of the sauce!
Step 11
And there you have it – our delicious Stir-Fried Sundae sauce is ready! Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
Step 12
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables for stir-frying. Cut half a cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
Step 13
Finely chop some green onion to create fragrant scallion oil. This step significantly enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
Step 14
Cut the remaining green onion into larger pieces for stir-frying with the sundae. This will add a pleasant, slightly crunchy texture.
Step 15
Slice half an onion into strips. The sweetness of the onion pairs wonderfully with the sundae.
Step 16
Wash the perilla leaves thoroughly under running water, and trim off the tough stem ends.
Step 17
Roll the perilla leaves tightly and slice them into about 1cm wide pieces. If you love the aroma of perilla leaves, feel free to add more – it’s incredibly delicious!
Step 18
Now, it’s time to stir-fry! Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.
Step 19
Add the chopped green onions (for the scallion oil) and sauté over low heat until fragrant and lightly browned. This process is key to developing a rich aroma.
Step 20
Once the scallion oil is fragrant, add the sliced onions and stir-fry until they become translucent.
Step 21
Add the larger pieces of green onion and the cabbage. Stir-fry until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Step 22
Now, add the sundae to the pan. Gently stir-fry it with the other ingredients.
Step 23
Add about 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce and stir-fry everything together until well combined. Maintain medium heat during this stage.
Step 24
Taste as you stir-fry, and if you feel the seasoning is a bit lacking, add more sauce.
Step 25
I added another tablespoon of sauce based on my preference. Feel free to adjust the amount of sauce to your liking! If it’s not savory enough, add more soy sauce; if it’s not sweet enough, add more oligodang or sugar.
Step 26
In the final step, turn the heat up to high and stir-fry quickly. This helps the sundae and vegetables retain their texture and allows the sauce to coat everything beautifully.
Step 27
Add the sliced perilla leaves and the chili pepper (for a touch of heat) and stir-fry once more briefly. Adding these at the end preserves their fresh flavor and aroma.
Step 28
Finish by sprinkling some toasted sesame seeds over the top. The sesame seeds add a delightful nuttiness and visual appeal.
Step 29
For an extra touch, you can thinly slice some perilla leaves and place them on top as a garnish. Your vibrant and appetizing Stir-Fried Sundae is complete! Enjoy your meal! ^^
