Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your ingredients. Wash the carrot and onion thoroughly, then dice them into bite-sized pieces similar to the Vienna sausages. This ensures the sauce coats everything evenly and makes it easy to eat. Finely mince the garlic. For the Vienna sausages, make cross-shaped cuts about two-thirds of the way up. This will help them beautifully unfurl as they cook.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp gochujang, 1 Tbsp ketchup, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, and 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil. Whisk together until well combined to create a delicious sauce. Getting this sauce ratio right is key!
Step 3
Heat 2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until the garlic turns a light golden brown, infusing the oil with a wonderful garlic aroma. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Once the garlic oil is fragrant, add the prepared carrot, onion, and Vienna sausages to the pan. Sprinkle in some black pepper to reduce any gamey odors and enhance the flavor. Stir-fry everything together for about 1 minute, or until the vegetables begin to soften slightly.
Step 5
When the cuts on the Vienna sausages start to open up, pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well with a spatula or spoon to coat all the ingredients evenly with the sauce. Continue to stir-fry for another minute, making sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Once the sauce has coated everything nicely, turn off the heat. Sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds for an extra touch of nutty flavor and visual appeal. Sesame seeds are like magic, enhancing both the look and taste of your dish!
Step 7
Transfer the perfectly stir-fried Vienna sausages and vegetables to a serving plate. Your delicious spicy and sweet Vienna sausage stir-fry is now ready! It’s wonderful served warm, but also tastes great at room temperature. Enjoy this versatile dish!
