Main Ingredients

- 1 yellow bell pepper (seeds removed)
- 1 red bell pepper (seeds removed)
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil (for stir-frying)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
The Magic Stir-Fry Sauce
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce (for umami)
- 1 Tbsp sugar (for sweetness)
- 4 Tbsp ketchup (for tangy sweetness and color)
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup or honey (for gloss and consistency)
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce (for umami)
- 1 Tbsp sugar (for sweetness)
- 4 Tbsp ketchup (for tangy sweetness and color)
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup or honey (for gloss and consistency)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, lightly blanch the Vienna sausages in boiling water, or alternatively, score them diagonally with a knife before stir-frying for a more appealing appearance. Wash the bell peppers, remove the seeds, and chop them into bite-sized pieces, similar in size to the sausages. Using a variety of colors will make the dish more visually appealing.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce: soy sauce, sugar, ketchup, and corn syrup. Whisk them together thoroughly with a spoon until well blended and smooth. Ensuring the sauce is lump-free is key to a delicious result.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the prepared Vienna sausages and chopped bell peppers to the pan and begin to stir-fry. Cooking over medium heat, rather than high heat, prevents the ingredients from burning and ensures they cook beautifully.
Step 4
Once the scores on the sausages begin to open up and they start to cook, it’s time to pour all of the prepared stir-fry sauce into the pan. This is the crucial moment for the sauce to meld with the ingredients.
Step 5
Continue to stir-fry, using a spatula or spoon, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook until the sauce is slightly reduced and has a glossy finish, but not overly dry. This should take about another 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the finished sausage and vegetable stir-fry to a serving dish. Garnish generously with sesame seeds for an added nutty flavor and visual appeal. Your delightful homemade sausage and vegetable stir-fry is now ready to be enjoyed, best served warm.
