- Onions 3
- Green Pepper 1
- Red Pepper 1
- Green Onion (white parts) a small amount
Seasoning Ingredients
- Soy Sauce 1.5 Tbsp
- Minced Garlic ½ Tbsp
- Sesame Oil ½ Tbsp
- Oligosaccharide 1 Tbsp (adjust sweetness as needed)
- Black Pepper, a pinch
- Toasted Sesame Seeds 1 Tbsp
- Soy Sauce 1.5 Tbsp
- Minced Garlic ½ Tbsp

- Oligosaccharide 1 Tbsp (adjust sweetness as needed)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Boil a pot of water large enough to blanch the pink sausage. Blanching the sausage in boiling water helps remove impurities and results in a cleaner flavor.
Step 2
Slice the pink sausage into diagonal pieces, about 0.7 to 1 cm thick. Slicing them too thinly can cause them to break apart, so aim for a moderate thickness for a pleasant texture.
Step 3
Once the water is at a rolling boil, add the sliced pink sausage and blanch for a short time, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Over-blanching can make them mushy.
Step 4
Rinse the blanched sausage lightly under cold or running water. This step removes any residual oil and impurities, making the sausage more delicate in flavor.
Step 5
Drain the blanched sausage thoroughly in a colander. Excess water can cause oil splattering when stir-frying.
Step 6
Now, let’s stir-fry! Lightly oil a pan and add all the prepared vegetables (onion, peppers, green onion) and the drained sausage. Add all the seasoning ingredients: soy sauce, minced garlic, oligosaccharide, and black pepper. Gently mix everything together with your hands to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 7
Stir-fry the seasoned ingredients over high heat until the vegetables are just tender-crisp. It’s important to maintain the vegetables’ crispness, so stir-fry quickly over high heat rather than cooking for a long time. Cook only until the vegetables are slightly wilted and glossy.
Step 8
Once the vegetables reach your desired doneness, turn off the heat. Finish by adding ½ Tbsp of sesame oil and 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds, mixing gently. The nutty aroma of sesame oil and seeds will enhance the overall flavor.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a little more soy sauce if it’s not salty enough. Transfer the finished pink sausage and vegetable stir-fry to a serving plate. This dish is also delicious served over a bowl of warm rice!
