Ingredients
- 1/3 pink sausage (approx. 50-60g)
- A generous handful of chives
- 2 Cheongyang peppers (adjust to spice preference)
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- Plenty of perilla oil or cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s introduce you to the wonderfully nostalgic Pink Sausage Patties! We’ll be making a delicious and simple dish that kids will love.
Step 2
Place 1/3 of a pink sausage into a plastic bag (to prevent steam escaping) and coarsely mash it with your hands or a rolling pin. Avoid mashing it too finely, as leaving some chunks will enhance the texture. This method helps retain the satisfying ‘pop’ of the sausage.
Step 3
Finely chop the washed chives into pieces about 1 cm long. If using Cheongyang peppers, remove the seeds and mince them finely. For a milder taste or for children, you can substitute with colorful bell peppers.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the mashed pink sausage, chopped chives, and minced Cheongyang peppers. Gently mix them together with your hands, ensuring the vegetables are well incorporated with the sausage.
Step 5
Now, let’s get the batter consistency right. Add 3 tablespoons of flour and crack in 2 eggs into the sausage and vegetable mixture from step 3. Stir with a spoon or spatula until everything is well combined and forms a cohesive batter. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape. If it seems too thin, add a little more flour or egg as needed. A slightly stiff batter is ideal.
Step 6
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of perilla oil (or cooking oil). Use a spoon to scoop portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil, forming round patties. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 7
Once beautifully golden, arrange the cooked pink sausage patties attractively on a serving plate, perhaps in a circular pattern for an appealing presentation.
Step 8
Your delicious Pink Sausage Patties, evoking childhood memories, are now complete! They are best enjoyed warm and can be served with ketchup or a soy sauce dip for an extra flavor boost.
