Making My Husband Sausage Stir Fry Lunch Boxes

Back by popular demand, I’ve made a week of my husband’s lunchboxes this week! Even though we are mostly work from home now, we still love meal prepping ahead for the next day. These lunchboxes help us enjoy great lunches while still focused on work.

Today’s lunchbox is Korean Inspired Spicy Mini Sausage Stir-Fry served with white rice. Since I’m a bit tired today, I want to make a lunchbox that doesn’t take so much work. Whenever I don’t feel like cooking, I always make a quick stir fry. It comes together in less than 20 minutes, and is packed with tons of flavor.

It sweet, tangy, savory, a little spicy, and super popular with kids and adults alike. It’s everything from a yummy side dish to a popular drinking snack.

Sweet and Spicy Sausage Yachae Bokkeum Sauce

What really makes this dish so iconic is the spicy, tomatoey sweetness of the Sausage Yachae Bokkeum Sauce. It is a blend of Korean Red Chili Paste, ketchup, soy sauce, honey, and black pepper that has just the right balance of heat and sweet. The sauce should be the perfect consistency to coat all the ingredients in a layer of flavor. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out.

This sauce is so magical, you can combine it with any vegetables and protein in your fridge. It will turn out tasty every singl. time.
