🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 6 pieces sausages (your choice of type, e.g., pork or beef)
• 2 cups ginger ale
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
• 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

2. Add the sausages to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly browned. You don’t need to fully cook them at this stage, just get a good sear.

3. Remove the sausages from the pan and set them aside on a plate.

4. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

5. Pour the ginger ale into the pan and stir in the brown sugar and soy sauce. Mix well to combine and let the liquid come to a gentle simmer.

6. Return the sausages to the pan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, turning the sausages occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a thick, glossy glaze and the sausages are cooked through.

7. Once done, remove the sausages and transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the remaining glaze over the sausages.

8. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, for added flavor and presentation.

9. Serve hot as an appetizer or alongside rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
