Main Ingredients
- Vienna sausages 560g
- 1 onion (medium-sized)
- 7 cloves garlic
Seasoning

- 1.5 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1.5 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)
- 3 Tbsp water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the Vienna sausages. Make diagonal slits on 2-3 spots on the body of each sausage. This not only makes them visually appealing but also helps the sauce penetrate better, enhancing the flavor.
Step 2
Briefly blanch the sausages in boiling water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This step helps to remove excess sodium, impurities, and some of the oil, resulting in a cleaner and milder taste.
Step 3
Peel and wash the onion, then dice it into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5cm cubes. Slice the 7 garlic cloves into 2-3 thick pieces. Ensure all your vegetables are prepped and ready to go.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp of cooking oil. Add the blanched sausages, diced onion, and sliced garlic. Stir-fry until the ingredients are lightly browned and the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce! Add 1.5 Tbsp gochujang, 1 Tbsp ketchup, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 3 Tbsp water, and 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide to the pan. Stir everything together well. Continue to stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and evenly coats all the ingredients. You’re looking for a glossy finish.
Step 6
Your delicious sausage stir-fry is ready! It looks incredibly appetizing and is perfect served over a warm bowl of rice for a satisfying meal.
Step 7
Finally, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for an extra nutty aroma and visual appeal. Enjoy your tasty sausage stir-fry!
