Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the sausages look fun for the kids! Score the top of each Vienna sausage with a cross (+) shape. They will unfurl like adorable octopus tentacles as they cook.
Step 2
Next, prepare the vegetables. Cut the onion into large, manageable pieces that are easy for children to eat. Finely julienne or dice the carrot into small cubes for color and a pleasant texture.
Step 3
Now, let’s start stir-frying. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. This gentle sautéing brings out the best garlic aroma.
Step 4
Once the garlic is fragrant, add all the prepared sausages to the pan. Increase the heat to medium and stir-fry. Cook until the tentacles from the scored sausages have nicely opened up. This will take about a few minutes, resulting in juicy and delicious sausages.
Step 5
When the sausage tentacles are fully open, add the chopped onion and carrot to the pan. Continue to stir-fry everything together until the vegetables are slightly softened and translucent, retaining a pleasant crispness.
Step 6
Time to add the flavor! Pour all the pre-mixed sauce ingredients into the pan (ketchup, oyster sauce, soy sauce, corn syrup). Stir well over medium heat, ensuring the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly. Avoid high heat to prevent the sauce from burning.
Step 7
Finally, just before turning off the heat, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a rich aroma and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds. Your delicious Sausage and Vegetable Stir-fry is ready! Serve it over warm rice for a meal your kids will devour.
