Delicious Sausage and Vegetable Stir-Fry Recipe for Kids
Nutritious Sausage and Vegetable Stir-Fry, Perfect for Children’s Side Dish
A simple yet flavorful stir-fry that’s perfect as a side dish or snack for kids. You can balance its nutrition by adding various vegetables.
Main Ingredients- 20 Vienna sausages (you can also thread them onto skewers)
- 1/2 onion (chopped into large pieces suitable for children)
- 1/4 yellow bell pepper (seeds removed, chopped into large pieces)
- 1/4 red bell pepper (seeds removed, chopped into large pieces)
- 6 cloves garlic (cut into 2-3 pieces or sliced thinly so kids can eat them)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s prepare the ingredients first! Lightly score the Vienna sausages 🍢; this helps the sauce penetrate better and makes them look appealing. Chop the onion and bell peppers into large, bite-sized pieces for children. Cut the garlic into 2-3 pieces or slice it thinly; this sweetens it when cooked, making it more palatable for kids. Feel free to add other vegetables you have in your fridge (e.g., carrots, broccoli)!
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. ♨️ Start by stir-frying the garlic to release its aroma. Once the garlic turns golden brown, its pungent flavor mellows, and its sweetness emerges, which even picky eaters can enjoy.
Step 3
When the garlic is fragrant and golden, add the Vienna sausages and chopped onion to the pan and stir-fry together. 🌭🧅 Cooking over medium heat rather than high heat prevents burning and ensures the ingredients cook beautifully.
Step 4
Once the onions become translucent and the sausages are lightly browned, add all the sauce ingredients and stir-fry. 🥣 Combining 2 Tbsp ketchup, 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide, and 2 Tbsp tonkatsu sauce and stirring them evenly will coat the ingredients with a delicious glaze.
Step 5
Finally, add the chopped bell peppers and stir-fry quickly! 🌶️ The key is to stir-fry them over high heat for just a short time so they remain crisp, as they can become mushy if overcooked. This also adds a beautiful color that will attract children’s attention.
Step 6
Once all ingredients are cooked, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper to your liking. (Omit or use a very small amount if serving to children.) 😊
Step 7
Your delicious Sausage and Vegetable Stir-Fry is ready! 🍽️ Serve it warm with rice, and your children will surely love it. It also makes a great lunchbox side dish once cooled slightly.
