Main Ingredients
- 10 Vienna sausages
- 1 bell pepper
- 1/2 paprika (using different colors will make it more visually appealing)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
Flavorful Stir-Fry Sauce
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 4 Tbsp ketchup (adds a sweet and tangy flavor)
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup or honey (for gloss and sweetness)
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 4 Tbsp ketchup (adds a sweet and tangy flavor)
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup or honey (for gloss and sweetness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the star of our dish: the sauce! In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 4 tablespoons of ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of corn syrup (or honey). Stir well until the sugar and syrup are fully dissolved. Having the sauce pre-mixed makes the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the ingredients. Make shallow scores on the Vienna sausages in a criss-cross pattern with a knife. This helps them cook evenly, look more appealing, and absorb the sauce better. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and paprika, then chop them into bite-sized pieces similar in size to the sausages. Using colorful paprika will make your dish look even more appetizing.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the prepared Vienna sausages, bell pepper, and paprika. Stir-fry gently, ensuring the ingredients don’t stick together. Cook until the sausages are lightly browned and the vegetables are slightly tender, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the vegetables, as they can become mushy.
Step 4
Once the sausages and vegetables are cooked to your liking, pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly for about 1-2 minutes. This high heat helps the sauce coat the ingredients evenly and prevents the stir-fry from becoming too watery. You’ll know it’s ready when the sauce is glossy and coats everything beautifully.
Step 5
Finally, transfer the delicious sausage and vegetable stir-fry to a serving plate. Sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the top for an extra nutty flavor and a visually appealing finish. Enjoy this dish served over warm rice for a satisfying meal, or pair it with a cold beer for a perfect appetizer!
