Ingredients

For Glazed Beef Sausage Pineapple Bites, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 pound beef sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 cup tasty crispy fish batter (for frying)
• Vegetable oil (for frying)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cutting your beef sausage into bite-sized pieces (about 1-2 inches) and draining any excess juice from the pineapple, if using canned.
2. Make the Glaze: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Whisk until well mixed. Set aside.
3. Coat the Sausages: Dip each piece of beef sausage in the crispy fish batter until fully coated. This will give you that desired crunchy texture!
4. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat enough vegetable oil over medium heat to cover the bottom (about 1 inch deep). Wait until the oil is hot but not smoking.
5. Fry the Sausages: Carefully place the coated sausage pieces in the hot oil. Fry them until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Combine with Pineapple: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the fried sausages and pineapple chunks together. Drizzle the glaze over the top and mix until everything is thoroughly coated.
7. Serve: Transfer your Glazed Beef Sausage Pineapple Bites to a serving platter, and enjoy warm, perhaps with a drizzle of extra glaze on top!

Top Tips for Perfecting Glazed Beef Sausage Pineapple Bites

• Substitutions: If you don’t have beef sausage on hand, feel free to try chicken sausage or turkey sausage for a lighter option!
• Timing: Make sure to monitor the oil temperature closely while frying. If it’s too low, the bites will absorb more oil; too high, and they may burn.
• Common Mistakes: Avoid overcrowding the pan while frying. Fry in batches to ensure an even, golden fry.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you happen to have leftovers (doubtful!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For freezing, place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag, separating layers with parchment paper; they can last up to 3 months. To reheat, place in an oven set to 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to ensure they retain their crispness.

Now you’re fully equipped to make these Glazed Beef Sausage Pineapple Bites! Enjoy cooking and sharing this delightful dish with your loved ones. Happy cooking!
