Adapted from https://saramoulton.com/2015/10/kielbasa-sandwiches-with-kimchi-and-cheddar/

Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS

1 cup well-drained Quick Kimchi (see recipe below)
4 hero rolls
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds kielbasa
2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese

Prepare Quick Kimchi.

STEPS

1) Heat a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Split the rolls horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Brush the cut surfaces with the olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low; place the rolls, cut side down, in the skillet, 2 at a time, and cook for about 1 minute, or until they just begin to brown. Transfer to a platter and set aside.

2) Meanwhile, cut the kielbasa crosswise into 4 pieces and split it horizontally.

3) Thinly slice the cheese.

4) Add the kielbasa, cut side down to the same skillet and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until  browned. Turn and cook for about 5 minutes more, or until the other side has browned.

5) Top the kielbasa with the kimchi and cheese; cover the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, or just until the cheese has melted. Transfer the kielbasa pieces to the rolls and serve.
