Ingredients- 195g Pink Sausage (recommend a thicker cut)
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1.5-2 Tbsp Chives (finely chopped)
- 1.5-2 Tbsp Carrot (finely minced)
- 0.5 Tbsp Cooking Wine or Mirin (to remove egg odor)
- 3 Pinches Salt (adjust to taste)
- A dash of Black Pepper
- Vegetable Oil (for frying)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your ingredients. Crack 2 large eggs into a clean bowl. Wash the chives and carrots thoroughly, pat them dry, and then finely chop them. Aim for small pieces so they mix well with the egg and create a pleasant texture when cooked.
Step 2
Carefully remove the casing from the pink sausage. Slice it into rounds approximately 4-5mm thick. Slicing them too thinly might cause them to break apart during cooking, so this thickness is ideal.
Step 3
To the bowl with the eggs, add all the finely chopped carrots and chives that you prepared earlier.
Step 4
Now, let’s season the egg batter. Add 3 generous pinches of salt and a dash of freshly ground black pepper. For an extra touch to eliminate any potential egg odor and enhance flavor, add 0.5 tablespoon of cooking wine or Mirin.
Step 5
Using a spoon or a whisk, gently mix everything in the bowl. Whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are well combined, and ensure the chopped vegetables and seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Avoid over-mixing.
Step 6
Once the egg batter is smooth, carefully add the sliced pink sausage. Gently toss the sausage pieces to ensure each slice is evenly coated with the egg mixture. This coating will help prevent the sausage from burning and ensure it cooks to a tender finish.
Step 7
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of vegetable oil. Allow the pan to preheat slightly. Once the oil is warm, carefully place the egg-coated sausage slices one by one into the pan, making sure to leave some space between them so they don’t stick together.
Step 8
As the edges of the sausage pancakes begin to turn golden brown, it’s time to flip them. Using a spatula or a spoon, carefully turn each pancake over in the same order you placed them in the pan. This consistent flipping order helps ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Continue to cook the sausage pancakes on the other side until they are evenly golden brown and slightly crisp. Once both sides are beautifully browned and the sausage is heated through, turn off the heat. Your delicious, nostalgic pink sausage pancakes are ready to be served! Enjoy this taste of childhood.
