Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange sausages on a large roasting pan and roast for 12 minutes until partially cooked.
Tip: Pricking sausages with a fork prevents them from bursting during cooking.

While sausages roast, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Tip: Mix the sauce components ahead of time for faster assembly.
- 3
In another small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, then stir into the sauce mixture.
Tip: Cornstarch will thicken the glaze as it cooks and coats the ingredients.

Remove the partially cooked sausages from the oven and add bamboo shoots and red bell pepper to the pan.
Tip: Cut vegetables uniformly so they cook evenly with the sausages.
- 5
Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the sausages and vegetables, tossing gently to coat everything thoroughly.
Tip: Use a spatula to ensure the sauce reaches all components for even glazing.
- 6
Return to the oven and roast for 20-22 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until sausages are cooked through and the sauce is glossy and thickened.
Tip: The sausages should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
