A professional chef with 23 years of experience shares how to pan-fry sausages. Heat the pan over medium heat, then lower to low and cook slowly while rolling them, so the casings never split and the juices stay sealed inside. A small amount of water and a brief steam-fry cooks them through to the center, and butter plus soy sauce poured down the side of the pan finishes them with a savory aroma. The casing snaps with the first bite and the juices burst out — perfect with rice or beer.
Instructions
- Add vegetable oil to a frying pan and place in the sausages of your choice.
- Turn on the heat and first bring the pan up to temperature over medium heat.
- Roll the sausages to coat them all over with oil. This is a key point that spreads the heat evenly and prevents uneven browning.
- Once the pan is nicely heated, immediately lower to low heat and brown the surface slowly.
- Keeping the heat low, cook slowly while rolling them to drive off excess surface moisture. As the moisture reduces and the temperature rises, the Maillard reaction gives them a nice brown color.
- Rolling them around over low heat, cook until the moisture and fat inside expand and the sausages are plump and taut.
- Once they have an appetizing brown color, add about half a tablespoon of water.
- Cover immediately and steam-fry for about 30 seconds. The steam envelops them, cooking them evenly to the center while limiting the loss of juices.
- When the time is up, remove the lid and finish by adding butter, coating them all over. It lends a rich aroma and crisps the surface once more.
- Once the butter coats them all over, add a little soy sauce down the side of the pan. Let it heat for a moment on the hot pan surface to bring out the savory aroma of browned soy sauce, then quickly coat the sausages before it burns.
- Turn off the heat and finish with a generous sprinkle of black pepper.
