🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 16 oz kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp ginger, finely grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Set the sauce aside.

2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the neutral cooking oil.

3. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced kielbasa sausage to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned on both sides.

4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the prepared sauce over the cooked sausage. Stir well to coat all of the sausage slices evenly in the sauce.

5. Let the sausage simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and clings to the sausage.

6. Remove from heat and transfer the sausage to a serving dish.

7. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

8. Serve immediately as a main dish over steamed rice, or as a flavorful appetizer.
