Korean fish-sausage jeon (소세지 부침) is one of the most popular lunch box side dishes from the good old days. When sausage was introduced to Koreans for the first time, it was big hit. Since then, Koreans started to make their own fish sausage like this. Later, we started eating ham, and ham eventually replaced fish sausage in different kinds of Korean food such as kimbap, salad, jeon, etc. Slowly this fish sausage became less popular and is an old fashioned food now. Sometimes I miss this dish. It brings back my school day memories, and it still tastes good to me.
Yield: 1½ Dozen Pieces
Short Korean Lesson

I’ve been watching your videos on YouTube for about a week. Can’t WAIT to try some of your recipes.
I was going to ask…Do Koreans also use bento lunchboxes? This seems like a really good side dish (I make bento often) and I was wondering if it would be good to use in one.
Thanks!

Hello aeri,
can you tell me a substitute or alternative food for the korean fish sausages? i mean, what other food can i use to replace for the korean fish sausages if i don’t have korean fish sausages.
hi Jeremy,
You can try any kind of sausage you can get… you can do this with spam or ham also.. ^^ thanks 😀
My mom would use hot dogs in replace of the fish sausage since we were really poor when we first came to the states. I make this every so often now for my husband’s lunches and his co-workers are surprised you can do other things with hot dogs lol.
