Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb kielbasa sausage
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Chop the green onions into thin slices, separating the green tops from the white bottoms. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced kielbasa to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully browned on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
Pour the sweet and spicy sauce mixture over the kielbasa in the skillet, stirring to coat evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and caramelize.
Sprinkle the cooked kielbasa with the chopped green onion tops and sesame seeds.
Serve hot as an appetizer with toothpicks or over steamed rice for a main dish.
