Key Ingredients- 20 Vienna sausages (approx. 300-400g)
- 4 Tbsp sugar (approx. 60g)
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil (approx. 30ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, briefly blanch the Vienna sausages in boiling water for about 30 seconds without removing their casings. This prevents them from bursting when fried in oil and helps maintain a more plump texture. After blanching, rinse them under cold water and thoroughly pat them dry. Then, using a knife, make 2-3 shallow scores on each sausage. These scores will help the coating adhere better and create a more attractive appearance.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the dried Vienna sausages and gently roll them around to ensure even browning. Cook until all sides are golden brown and slightly crispy. This step is crucial for achieving a delicious texture.
Step 3
Once the sausages are nicely browned, add 4 tablespoons of sugar to the pan. Keep the heat at medium-low and be careful not to let the sugar burn.
Step 4
As the sugar begins to melt, quickly stir and toss the sausages using a spatula or chopsticks. Continue to cook, coating the sausages evenly with the melting sugar. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until the sugar caramelizes and gives the sausages a beautiful, glossy sheen.
Step 5
When the sausages are coated with a thin, even layer of glistening caramel, remove the pan from the heat. Serve immediately while hot for a delightful contrast between the crispy exterior and chewy interior. Let them cool slightly before enjoying for the best texture. They also pair wonderfully with ketchup or mustard!
