Quick Korean Sausage Mix (Printable Version)

Speedy sausage mix with bell peppers, flavorful spices, and a zesty Korean-style sauce.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1.10 lbs mini cocktail sausages or Korean-style Vienna type (you can swap with sliced frankfurt, knockwurst, or bratwurst if needed)
02 - 2 bell peppers, chopped into small cubes, any color works
03 - 1 small onion, cut into thin strips
04 - 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
05 - 1 tablespoon neutral oil like vegetable or canola
06 - ½ teaspoon sesame seeds for topping if you want

→ Sauce Ingredients

07 - 3 tablespoons ketchup
08 - 1 tablespoon gochujang, pick hot or mild based on what you like
09 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
10 - 1 tablespoon light or regular soy sauce
11 - 0.5 tablespoon sesame oil
12 - 2 teaspoons cane or white granulated sugar

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Make 3-5 small cuts on one side of each mini sausage without going too deep. To save time, try cutting 4 sausages together at once. Put them aside for now.
02 - Mix together ketchup, gochujang, maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar in a small bowl. Stir it all up and set it aside.
03 - Warm up the oil in a big pan on medium heat. Toss in onions and garlic, cooking them quickly for about 30 seconds.
04 - Throw the bell pepper chunks into your pan and cook them for half a minute while stirring.
05 - Put sausages in the pan and stir them around for 1 minute. Then cover the pan and let everything cook for another 3 minutes.
06 - Pour your sauce mix into the pan and stir until everything gets nicely coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you want, then take the pan off the heat.

# Additional Notes:

01 - You can keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days in a sealed container. When you want to eat them again, just zap in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or warm up in a pan with a splash of water.
02 - Don't try freezing this dish as your bell peppers will turn mushy and soggy.
