Vegetable and Sausage Pan-Fries
Nostalgic Side Dish: Delicious Vegetable Sausage Pan-Fries
Remember when sausage pan-fries, coated in egg and pan-fried, were a staple in packed lunches? While they might not be as common now, we still enjoy making them at home occasionally. Today, we’re adding a touch of flair by incorporating finely chopped vegetables from the fridge and sweet corn kernels into the egg batter for a delightful twist on this classic dish. The pop of corn adds an extra layer of flavor and texture!
Main Ingredients
- 1/4 Onion, finely minced
- 3 Tbsp Canned Corn, drained
- 10 Perilla Leaves, finely chopped
- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 tsp Herb Salt
- 160g Pink Sausage (or regular sausage), sliced into 0.5cm thick rounds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables for the pan-fry. Finely mince 1/4 of an onion. Drain canned corn thoroughly to ensure it’s ready to add a delightful crunch. Wash and thoroughly dry 10 perilla leaves, then finely chop them. These will add freshness and aroma to your dish.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the minced onion, drained corn, and chopped perilla leaves. Crack in 4 eggs and season with 1/2 teaspoon of herb salt for a balanced flavor. Whisk everything together thoroughly with chopsticks or a whisk until well combined, creating a smooth batter. Slice the sausage into thin rounds, about 0.5cm thick.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Using a tablespoon, scoop about half a spoonful of the egg batter and gently spread it into a small circle on the pan. Place one sliced sausage onto the wet batter. Continue this process, adding small portions of the vegetable-egg batter and topping with a slice of sausage, building up your pan-fries.
Step 4
Once the bottom of the pan-fry starts to set and turn golden brown, carefully flip it over using a spatula. Gently press down on the pan-fry with the spatula to ensure the sausage and egg batter adhere well and maintain their shape. This pressing action helps to keep everything together as it cooks.
Step 5
Continue to cook, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and the pan-fry is cooked through. Cooking over low heat is key to ensuring the inside is cooked without burning the outside. Your delicious vegetable and sausage pan-fries are ready to be enjoyed! They are best served warm.
