Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To remove excess grease and any unwanted odor from the sausages, briefly blanch them in boiling water or soak them in hot water for over 5 minutes. Afterward, make diagonal cuts (scores) on the sausages. This helps the sauce penetrate better and makes them look appealing when cooked.
Step 2
Prepare the vegetables by deseeding the yellow and red bell peppers and slicing them into bite-sized pieces. Slice the onion into similarly sized pieces. It’s best to cut the vegetables a bit thickly rather than too small, as this will help maintain their crisp texture when stir-fried.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the sauce. In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp ketchup, 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 Tbsp water, and 1 Tbsp gochujang for a hint of spice. Whisk everything together until smooth. Having the sauce pre-mixed makes the stir-frying process much smoother.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the scored sausages and stir-fry until they are lightly browned. Since the sausages release their own fat, you likely won’t need to add any extra cooking oil. Gently stir-fry to bring out the sausages’ rich flavor.
Step 5
Once the sausages are partly cooked and the scored parts begin to open up, add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the pan. Stir-fry them quickly. It’s important to stir-fry at high heat for a short period to keep the vegetables crisp and prevent them from becoming watery.
Step 6
As the vegetables start to soften slightly, pour the prepared special sauce into the pan. Toss everything together quickly to ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly. Continue to cook for about 1 minute, allowing the sauce to meld with the ingredients, then turn off the heat. Avoid overcooking, which can make the vegetables mushy.
Step 7
Transfer the delicious sausage and vegetable stir-fry to a serving plate. It’s ready to be enjoyed! Serve it over hot rice for a hearty meal or pair it with your favorite beer or soju for a delightful appetizer.
