Main Ingredients- 180g Vienna sausages
- 40g Onion
- 35g Red bell pepper
- 35g Yellow bell pepper
- 0.5 Tbsp Oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp Ketchup
- 1 Tbsp Water
- 0.5 Tbsp Oligodang (corn syrup)
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil
- A little Scallion (for garnish)
- A little Sesame seeds
Blanching the Sausages- 600ml Water
- 600ml Water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables. Dice the onion and red and yellow bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the scallions for garnish.
Step 2
Here’s a trick to elevate your plump Vienna sausages! Make diagonal slits on the surface of the sausages. This allows the sauce to penetrate better, infuses more flavor, and makes the sausages look beautifully shaped after cooking. They look much more appealing than simply stir-frying them plain!
Step 3
In a pot, add 600ml of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the scored Vienna sausages and gently stir them. When the slits start to open up and the water is bubbling, immediately turn off the heat. Be careful not to over-blanch, as the sausages can become mushy!
Step 4
Drain the blanched sausages in a colander. Then, rinse them under cold running water while gently tossing them. This step removes excess oil from the sausages, resulting in a firmer, springier texture.
Step 5
Now, let’s get stir-frying! Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Add the drained Vienna sausages and set the heat to medium.
Step 6
Stir-fry the sausages for about 1 minute. Aim to get the scored parts slightly golden and nicely opened up for the best flavor.
Step 7
Add 0.5 tablespoon of oyster sauce for a savory umami kick.
Step 8
Add 2 tablespoons of ketchup for a touch of sweet and tangy flavor.
Step 9
Stir-fry gently with a spatula to ensure the sauce evenly coats the sausages. They will develop a glossy sheen.
Step 10
Add the prepared red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp. The key is to keep them slightly crunchy, not mushy!
Step 11
Add 0.5 tablespoon of oligodang (corn syrup) for a subtle sweetness.
Step 12
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of water. Stir everything together until the sauce is well combined, then turn off the heat.
Step 13
Taste and adjust the seasoning. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more oligodang. If it needs more saltiness, add a touch more oyster sauce and stir-fry briefly.
Step 14
Sprinkle the finely chopped scallions and sesame seeds over the finished Ssoya Bokkeum. Your visually appealing Vienna Sausage and Vegetable Stir-fry is now complete! Enjoy your delicious meal.
