15-min. Easy Korean Sausage Stir Fry
Mini Korean-style Vienna sausages stir-fried in a sweet, spicy and savory sauce with bell peppers and aromatics. This super easy 15-minute Korean Sausage Stir-Fry is a tasty side dish with steamed rice and made of simple ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1.10 lb Korean-style Vienna Sausages or Mini Cocktail Sausages (or sliced smoked bratwurst/knockwurst/frankfurt sausages)
- 2 bell peppers any color works, diced
- 1 small onion julienned
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds optional garnish
Sauce
- 3 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon gochujang either mild or hot depending on your preference
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
- 0.5 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoon white granulated sugar or cane sugar
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, make 3-5 shallow cuts on each mini sausage on one side only. Avoid slicing deeply. Tip: slice 4 sausages at the time for faster preparation. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients as listed above and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Stir fry onions and garlic for 30 seconds. Then stir fry bell peppers for 30 seconds.
- Add in sausages and stir fry for 1 min. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3 minutes.
- Then add in the sauce and mix well. Garnish with sesame seeds. Remove off heat and enjoy!
Notes
Storage & Reheating
- Leftovers will last up to 4 days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat: microwave for 2-3 minutes until hot or reheat in a pan on medium heat with a few tablespoons of hot water to loosen the sauce.
- Freezer friendly? I don't recommend freezing Korean sausage stir fry as the bell peppers will become mushy.
