Main Ingredients- 18-20 Vienna sausages (other types of sausages can be used as preferred)
- 1 medium onion
- 1/2 carrot
- Other desired vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, etc.)
Sweet and Savory Sauce- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide or corn syrup
- 1 Tbsp gochujang (for a spicy kick)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce (for enhanced umami!)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide or corn syrup
- 1 Tbsp gochujang (for a spicy kick)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce (for enhanced umami!)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your assorted vegetables from the refrigerator. Slice the onion thickly, thinly slice the carrot into rounds or half-moons. If using other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini, chop them into similar bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Score the Vienna sausages with a knife to create a decorative pattern. Briefly blanching the sausages in boiling water helps remove impurities and excess oil, resulting in a cleaner taste. (This step is optional.)
Step 3
In a bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients: 2 Tbsp ketchup, 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 1 Tbsp gochujang, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp minced garlic. Mix well to create a delicious sauce.
Step 4
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. Add the scored sausages first and stir-fry until they are lightly browned and slightly puffed up.
Step 5
Once the sausages are partially cooked, add all the prepared vegetables to the pan and stir-fry together. Keep stirring to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Step 6
It’s important to stir-fry the vegetables until they are crisp-tender, not fully cooked. Overcooking will diminish their natural sweetness and crunchy texture.
Step 7
When the vegetables are about 70-80% cooked, pour in the prepared sauce. Stir-fry quickly over high heat to ensure the sauce evenly coats the vegetables and sausages. Finally, if desired, add chopped red chili peppers or green onions and toss briefly before turning off the heat.
Step 8
Enjoy your delicious Sausage and Vegetable Stir-fry (Ssoya)! The combination of crisp vegetables and chewy sausages is truly delightful. Serve it over rice for a hearty meal or let it cool to pack as a lunchbox side. Enjoy your meal! 🙂
