Main Ingredients- 300g sausages
- Baguette or sliced bread
- 4 hot dog buns
- 1/2 onion
- 1 bell pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Here’s a handy tip for easily removing the bell pepper stem! Cut just below the stem, and it will detach smoothly, making preparation a breeze. (Referenced from ‘Homestyle Cooking Baek Teacher’s Tips’)
Step 2
Finely chop the sausages, onion, and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Chopping them to a similar size will help them cook evenly and blend well together.
Step 3
Add a moderate amount of cooking oil to a preheated pan. Maintaining medium heat is crucial to prevent the ingredients from burning.
Step 4
Start by adding the sausages to the pan and stir-frying them over medium heat until lightly browned. The rendered sausage fat will add extra flavor to the dish.
Step 5
Once the sausages are partially cooked, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables soften and their raw crispness disappears. Stir until they are tender.
Step 6
Lightly season with black pepper first to enhance the overall aroma and flavor. The mild spiciness of the pepper will complement the richness of the sausage and vegetables.
Step 7
Now it’s time to create the sauce base. Add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of vinegar to develop a sweet and tangy flavor profile.
Step 8
The star ingredient here is the bell pepper! The longer you cook the bell peppers, the more their natural sweetness will infuse into the dish, elevating its overall quality. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly.
Step 9
As the ingredients cook and simmer together, a rich, slightly thick sauce will naturally form from the vegetables and seasonings.
Step 10
Add 1/3 cup of water and let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens slightly. (Tip: If you have beer or wine on hand, using it instead of water will add an even richer depth of flavor. Today, we’re using water!)
Step 11
Cover the pan and let it simmer slowly over low heat. This isn’t a fast food dish; embrace it as a slow-cooked meal that allows the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine!
Step 12
Taste the sauce occasionally and adjust seasoning if needed. It should be savory with a delightful depth of flavor that whets your appetite. The deliciousness will be amplified!
Step 13
Your ‘Sofa’ (Sausage + Pepper) filling is ready! The vegetables are perfectly tender, and the sauce is deliciously reduced. It looks incredibly appetizing.
Step 14
Serve generously over toasted baguette slices, soft sliced bread, or hot dog buns for a satisfying meal or snack. Enjoy this delightful creation!
