Method

1. Prepare the Sausages

Step 1

Remove the sausages from their packaging and cut each one in half to make 12 equal pieces. Pat the surface dry with paper towels to help the coating stick.

2. Prepare the Ramen Coating

Step 2

Place the uncooked ramen noodles on a large plate. Crush them into small, irregular pieces using your hands or a kitchen utensil. Add one ramen seasoning packet and mix well.

3. Whisk the Eggs

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a wide, shallow bowl. Whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined.

4. Make the Batter

Step 4

Combine the flour, cornstarch, salt and black pepper in a separate bowl. Gradually add the cold water and whisk until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to cling to the sausages without immediately running off.

5. Coat the Sausages

Step 5

Dip each sausage piece into the beaten egg. Transfer it to the batter and turn until the entire surface is evenly covered.

6. Add the Ramen Crust

Step 6

Place the battered sausage in the crushed ramen mixture. Gently press the noodle pieces onto every side until the sausage is completely coated.

7. Heat the Oil

Step 7

Heat the frying oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until it reaches approximately 170–175°C.

8. Fry Until Crispy

Step 8

Carefully lower the coated sausage bites into the hot oil. Fry them in small batches for approximately 2–3 minutes, turning when necessary, until the ramen coating is crisp and golden.

9. Drain and Serve

Step 9

Remove the sausage bites with kitchen tongs. Drain them on paper towels or a wire rack to remove excess oil. Serve immediately with ketchup, mayonnaise or hot sauce.
