Ingredients

1.10 lb Korean-style Vienna sausages (or mini cocktail sausages)
1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, julienned

1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)

1/2 tsp sesame seeds (optional garnish)
3 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp gochujang

1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
1 tbsp regular soy sauce (or light soy sauce)
0.5 tbsp sesame oil

2 tsp white granulated sugar (or cane sugar)

Instructions

Step 1: Using a sharp knife, make 3-5 shallow cuts on one side only of 4 sausages at a time. Be careful not to slice deeply.
Step 2: In a small bowl, combine ketchup, gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the diced red and green bell peppers, cooking for 30–60 seconds until slightly softened.
Step 5: Add the sausages and stir-fry for 1 minute. Then cover the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, until sausages are heated through.

Step 6: Pour in the sauce and toss everything until evenly coated. Garnish with sesame seeds if using, then remove from heat and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or extra gochujang to the sauce.
Substitute regular sausages if Korean Vienna sausages aren’t available, but mini cocktail sausages work best.

Try adding sliced mushrooms or zucchini for more vegetables and flavor.
If you prefer a sweeter sauce, adjust the honey or sugar to taste.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat or microwave until warmed through to maintain texture and flavor.
