About this dish

Chapssal sundae, sticky-rice blood sausage, is already cooked, so frying it is not about cooking it through but about a crisp shell and a center that gets hot.

The batter is thickened with potato starch, and two rounds in the oil firm it up. A dusting of chili powder while hot, mustard on the side.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Use 300 g fully cooked Korean sundae sausage.

    Thaw frozen products in the refrigerator and follow any required reheating instructions first. Slice 1.5 cm thick and pat the cut faces and surface dry.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine 120 g frying mix, 2 tablespoons potato starch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

    Add 150 ml cold water and stir just until thick, stopping before the batter becomes gluey.

  3. 3

    Pour 700 ml frying oil into a deep pan and heat it to 170C.

    Coat each soondae slice right before frying, then let excess batter drip off so the crust stays thin and even.

  4. 4

    Fry the battered slices in small batches for 3 minutes.

    Leave them untouched for the first 30 seconds so the coating sets, then turn gently when the outside firms and turns lightly golden.

  5. 5

    Lift the soondae out and rest it for 1 minute to release steam from the crust.

    Raise the oil to 185C and fry again for 1 minute 30 seconds, until bubbling slows.

  6. 6

    Check that the thickest piece is hot through the center, continuing to heat if necessary.

    Drain, sprinkle with 0.5 tsp chili powder, and serve at once with 1 tbsp mustard.

Tips

Dry the surface well so batter adheres properly.
Double-frying keeps the inside moist and the outside crisp.
