Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients needed to make this delicious Sausage and Potato Simmer.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 2-3 cm). Finely chop the Korean green chilies. Briefly blanch the Vienna sausages in boiling water to remove any impurities, then cut them into halves or thirds for a nice presentation. With your ingredients prepped, you’re ready to start cooking!
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes and sauté for 1-2 minutes. This step lightly coats the potatoes in oil, which helps them maintain their shape and gives the finished dish a nice sheen. After oil-coating, pour in 1/2 cup of water.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to add all the seasoning ingredients that will bring out the delicious flavors: 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 0.5 Tbsp brown sugar, 2 Tbsp cooking wine, 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1.5 Tbsp corn syrup. Stir everything together well.
Step 5
Add the prepared Vienna sausages to the pan and stir gently to combine them with the sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer over medium heat for about 3 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Check the potatoes for doneness and add a little more water if needed during cooking.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the lid and stir in 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Vinegar helps to remove any unwanted odors and enhances the overall flavor profile. Increase the heat slightly and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes to let the vinegar’s aroma dissipate. Finally, add the chopped Korean green chilies (if you prefer a milder dish, you can omit these) and give it a quick stir. Turn off the heat, then finish by drizzling in a little sesame oil, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a pinch of black pepper for extra aroma and flavor. Your Sausage and Potato Simmer is now complete!
Step 7
And there you have it – a perfectly seasoned Sausage and Potato Simmer with flavors that beautifully complement the natural taste of the ingredients. Enjoy this wonderful side dish with your rice!
