This is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in under an hour and tastes like you've spent way more effort than you actually have. The sausages do most of the heavy lifting while you prepare a simple ginger and soy glaze that coats everything beautifully. Pak choi is fantastic here, not only because it wilts perfectly alongside the meat but also because it's packed with calcium and vitamins that make you feel good about what you're eating. The whole dish feels restaurant quality but honestly requires minimal fuss, just some chopping and one pan to roast everything in.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Place sausages on a large roasting tray and roast for 15 minutes until browned on the outside.
Tip: Prick sausages lightly with a fork to prevent bursting during cooking.

While sausages cook, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and chilli flakes in a small bowl to create the glaze.
Tip: Make the glaze while waiting to save time at the final stage.

After 15 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and add the halved pak choi around the sausages.
Tip: Position pak choi cut-side up so it can caramelize beautifully.

Drizzle the glaze evenly over the sausages and pak choi. Drizzle olive oil around the vegetables.
Tip: Reserve a little glaze to add after cooking for extra glossy finish.
- 5
Return to the oven and roast for another 12-15 minutes until the pak choi is tender with slightly charred edges and sausages are cooked through.
Tip: The pak choi should be fork-tender but still hold its shape.

Remove from oven and transfer sausages and pak choi to a serving platter. Pour any pan juices over the top.
Tip: Scrape up any caramelized bits from the pan for extra flavor.

My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser.
