Ingredients Quantity
For 4 servings:
- 8 small sausages (pork, chicken, or beef)

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper.
- Add the mixture to the skillet with the sausages.
- Lower the heat and let the sausages simmer in the glaze, turning frequently.
