  • Preparation: 10 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (198 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Dairy-free, Low carb
  • Contains: beef, gluten, pork, sesame

Ingredients

  • 170 g Blood sausage
  • 15 g Glass noodles, dry
  • 3 g Mint, fresh
  • 4 g Sesame oil
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 0.4 g Black pepper
  • 5 g Scallions, raw

Method

  1. Korean sundae is traditionally stuffed fresh into casing with blood, noodles and rice; ready-made blood sausage is the closest catalog stand-in, so here it is gently reheated and served Korean-style instead.
  2. Soak the glass noodles until soft, boil for 3-4 minutes until tender, drain, and toss with the sesame oil and chopped scallion.
  3. Steam the whole blood sausage over simmering water for 12-15 minutes, until heated through, then let rest for 2 minutes before slicing into thick rounds.
  4. Finely shred the perilla (mint stands in here) and scatter over the warm slices.
  5. Serve the warm slices with the sesame glass noodles alongside and a small dish of the salt and black pepper for dipping.
