Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces Cut into 1-2 inch pieces
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned Drain excess juice if using canned
For the Glaze
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
For Frying
- 1 cup tasty crispy fish batter For coating the sausage
- Vegetable oil For frying
Instructions
Preparation
- 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.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Whisk until well mixed. Set aside.
Coating and Frying
- Dip each piece of beef sausage in the crispy fish batter until fully coated.
- 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.
- Carefully place the coated sausage pieces in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Combining
- 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.
Serving
- Transfer your Glazed Beef Sausage Pineapple Bites to a serving platter, and enjoy warm, with extra glaze drizzled on top if desired.
Notes
Substitutions: Use chicken or turkey sausage for a lighter option. Monitor oil temperature closely to prevent burning.
