Jjajang Sausage and Vegetable Stir-fry: Quick and Delicious
Recipe for Jjajang Sausage and Vegetable Stir-fry
I always used to make sausage and vegetable stir-fry with ketchup, but lately, I’ve found that commercially available jjajang (black bean) sauces are very convenient and taste great. So, I decided to make a jjajang sausage and vegetable stir-fry using leftover vegetables. This dish is perfect as a simple yet flavorful side dish or a fantastic accompaniment to beer.
Main Ingredients- 200g Vienna sausages
- 1 onion
- Bell pepper (use a variety of colors for visual appeal) as needed
- 10 cloves whole garlic
- About 5 tablespoons of commercial jjajang sauce (or adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let me walk you through how to make this delicious Jjajang Sausage and Vegetable Stir-fry!
Step 2
First, prepare the vegetables and sausages. Slice the onion thickly. Cut the bell pepper into similar-sized pieces. Thinly slice the whole garlic cloves. For the Vienna sausages, make diagonal scores with a knife about 2-3 times; this helps the sauce to penetrate better and makes them look more appealing.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Once the garlic starts to turn golden, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry until the vegetables become slightly translucent. Stir-frying the vegetables first brings out their natural sweetness and improves their texture.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are partially cooked, add the prepared Vienna sausages to the pan and continue to stir-fry them together until they are nicely browned.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add the jjajang sauce. Add about 5 tablespoons of jjajang sauce and stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly. You can adjust the amount of sauce according to your preference. As the sauce simmers, it will infuse the ingredients with a rich jjajang flavor.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top for a nutty flavor and a visually appealing finish. All the ingredients are now coated in the delicious jjajang sauce, looking absolutely appetizing.
Step 7
Your Jjajang Sausage and Vegetable Stir-fry is ready! It’s simple to make but tastes incredibly good, making it a perfect snack with beer or a wonderful side dish for rice. Enjoy your meal!
