- 1 bowl of warm cooked rice
- 1 handful of well-fermented kimchi (finely chopped)
Seasoning & Extras- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tbsp Plum Extract (or syrup)
- 1 Tbsp Ketchup (optional)
- A pinch of Gim-ban (seaweed flakes, optional)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the carrot. Wash and peel 1/3 of a carrot, then julienne it very thinly or dice it finely. This preparation ensures even picky eaters will enjoy it when stir-fried.
Step 2
Heat a deep pan or wok over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp of cooking oil. Add the julienned carrots and stir-fry for about 1 minute until slightly softened. Then, add 1 bowl of warm cooked rice, breaking it up with your spatula. Drizzle 1 Tbsp of soy sauce and 1 Tbsp of plum extract directly over the rice. Stir-fry thoroughly, ensuring the rice grains are separated and evenly coated with the sauce. Cooking until each grain is well-seasoned is key.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to slice the sausage. Cut 1 sausage into bite-sized pieces, such as diagonally or into rounds. It’s best to cut them small enough for children to eat easily.
Step 4
Add the sliced sausage to the pan and cook over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Lightly searing the sausage enhances its flavor and texture.
Step 5
Once the sausage is partially cooked, add 1 Tbsp of minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. The aroma of garlic will add a delicious depth to the fried rice.
Step 6
Prepare another pan and stir-fry 1 handful of finely chopped kimchi over medium heat until softened. If the kimchi is too sour, you can add a tiny pinch of sugar. Once the kimchi is well-sautéed, turn off the heat, drizzle a little olive oil into the pan, and mix it with the rice. (Alternatively, you can add the kimchi to the same pan used for the rice and stir-fry together.)
Step 7
Now it’s time to bring all the ingredients together for a delicious finish! Combine the stir-fried rice, kimchi, and sausage in the pan. Finally, sprinkle 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds over the top. For an extra touch of flavor, drizzle 1 Tbsp of ketchup or add some Gim-ban for a crispy texture, according to your preference. Mix everything well, and your delicious sausage fried rice is ready to be enjoyed!
