Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Dice or cube the 1/2 onion. Cut the 1/4 green, red, and yellow bell peppers into similar-sized pieces as the onion. Keeping the vegetable sizes consistent will ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the special sauce! In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp ketchup, 1 tsp minced garlic (or garlic powder), 1/3 tsp ginger powder (or minced ginger), a pinch of black pepper, 0.5 Tbsp vinegar, 0.5 Tbsp sugar, and 1 Tbsp oyster sauce. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined.
Step 3
Add 1 Tbsp cornstarch to the sauce mixture and stir until smooth. This is key to achieving a glossy finish and ensuring the sauce beautifully coats the vegetables and sausages when stir-fried. It helps the sauce thicken perfectly.
Step 4
Now it’s time to use the rice cooker! Place the prepared vegetables and 4 thawed sausages (125g), sliced into bite-sized pieces, into the inner pot of your rice cooker. You can use any type of sausage you like, such as chicken or pork. Pour all of the special sauce over the ingredients and mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Select the ‘Reheat’ function on your (Cuckoo) rice cooker and cook for 9 minutes. (If using a standard rice cooker, the ‘Steam’ function works well, or you can simply stir-fry it in a pan.)
Step 5
Voila! Your colorful sausage and vegetable stir-fry, made effortlessly with a rice cooker, is ready. Isn’t it amazing how simple it is?
Step 6
Transfer the finished stir-fry to a serving dish. Garnish generously with sesame seeds for an extra nutty aroma and flavor. This dish is perfect served over a bowl of hot rice as a hearty side, or enjoyed with a cold beer as a fantastic appetizer. Enjoy your delicious meal!
