Main Ingredients
- Vienna sausages 220g (1 pack)
- 1/2 Onion
- 10 cloves Garlic
- 2 Korean green chili peppers (oigochu)
- Cooking oil
- Sesame seeds
Special Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Ketchup
- 1 Tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Ketchup
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables! Remove the seeds from the Korean green chili peppers and dice them into small pieces. Slice the garlic cloves thinly and dice the onion into similar-sized pieces. Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables based on what you have in your refrigerator (e.g., bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms).
Step 2
Make 3-4 slits, about 1cm apart, on the top part of the Vienna sausages. This helps them open up attractively when cooked and allows the sauce to penetrate better, making them even tastier.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and the scored Vienna sausages. Stir-fry until the garlic turns golden brown and fragrant, and the slits on the sausages begin to open up.
Step 4
Once the slits on the Vienna sausages start to open nicely, add the diced onion and Korean green chili peppers to the pan. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly for about 1-2 minutes to keep the vegetables crisp. The key is to stir-fry briefly without letting the vegetables become too soft.
Step 5
Now it’s time for the delicious sauce! Pour 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce around the edges of the pan. Oyster sauce will add a savory depth of flavor.
Step 6
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to balance the sweetness. Sugar helps to neutralize the saltiness of the oyster sauce and enhances the overall flavor profile.
Step 7
Finally, add 3 tablespoons of ketchup for a tangy and sweet taste. Ketchup is the secret ingredient that kids love! Once all the sauce ingredients are added, quickly toss everything together to combine the ingredients and the sauce well.
Step 8
When the sauce has evenly coated the ingredients and everything is well stir-fried, sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds on top for garnish. The nutty aroma of sesame seeds will add a delightful finish.
Step 9
And there you have it – a delicious Sausage and Vegetable Stir-Fry! It’s a fantastic side dish for a warm meal or a perfect accompaniment to a cold beer. Everyone, from kids to adults, will love this dish, so be sure to give it a try. Enjoy your meal!
