Savory Beef Bratwurst with Baby Pakcoy
Ingredients
- 4 beef bratwurst sausages
- 1 bunch of baby pakcoy
- 1 large onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 12 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 12 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 cup water (or enough to cover the sausages)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Aromatics: Begin by peeling and finely slicing the large onion and garlic cloves. In a large skillet or wok, heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced onion and garlic, stirring frequently. Sauté until they become fragrant and the onions turn golden brown, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
-
Cook the Bratwurst: While the onions and garlic are cooking, slice the beef bratwurst into bite-sized pieces. Once the onions are golden and aromatic, add the bratwurst to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the bratwurst pieces are browned on all sides.
-
Season and Simmer: Sprinkle in the black pepper, salt, and white sugar. Stir to evenly coat the bratwurst pieces with the seasonings. Add the oyster sauce and soy sauce, mixing well to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Pour in enough water to cover the bratwurst partially. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bratwurst are fully cooked and the flavors have melded together.
-
Add the Baby Pakcoy: While the bratwurst is simmering, rinse the baby pakcoy under cold water and pat dry. Trim any tough stems if necessary. Gently add the baby pakcoy to the skillet with the bratwurst, stirring to incorporate. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pakcoy is wilted but still crisp.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the baby pakcoy is tender and the bratwurst are cooked through, remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the savory beef bratwurst and baby pakcoy to a serving dish. Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the blend of hearty bratwurst and tender greens.
This dish is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures, perfect for a satisfying and quick meal. The bratwurst provides a rich, meaty flavor, while the baby pakcoy adds a fresh and crisp element, all harmoniously brought together with a savory sauce.
