This dish stir-fries Korean blood sausage and chewy noodles together with vegetables in a spicy sauce.

FAQ
Can I use other ingredients instead of chewy noodles?
You can substitute sweet potato glass noodles soaked in water or rice cakes instead.
Is there anything to keep in mind when slicing the blood sausage?
If you slice it diagonally, the filling can spill out, so it is best to cut it straight into round coins.
What should I do if the liquid cooks down too much while stir-frying?
Because the blood sausage and noodles absorb a lot of moisture, if the sauce reduces too much, add a little water as you stir-fry to keep everything moist.
