Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the stir-fried kimchi. (Tip: If you don’t have stir-fried kimchi, finely chop regular kimchi and sauté it in a pan with a little oil until the moisture evaporates.) Finely mince the prepared stir-fried kimchi. It’s important for the seasoning to be well-distributed in the rice!
Step 2
Blanch the sausages in boiling water to remove excess grease and drain them. (Tip: This also helps eliminate any gamey smell and improves texture.) Cut them into bite-sized pieces. Whisk the egg and cook it into a thin omelet, then finely chop or mince it.
Step 3
Place the warm rice in a bowl. Add the finely minced stir-fried kimchi and chopped egg. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for flavor and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a nutty finish.
Step 4
Gently mix all the ingredients together using a spatula or your hands until well combined. Be careful not to mash the rice grains – the key is a gentle mix. Ensure the kimchi seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the rice.
Step 5
Prepare to shape the rice balls. Take a portion of the rice mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a suitable amount of the prepared sausage in the center.
Step 6
Cover the sausage with the rice, shaping it into a round, slightly flattened ball. Your delicious sausage kimchi rice balls are ready! They make a perfect addition to kids’ lunchboxes or a satisfying quick meal.
