Instructions
Prep day

- Heat a pan with vegetable oil and add in the sausages. Cook them over medium-high heat for 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Then, turn down the heat and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 more minutes, flipping them half-way through. Let cool and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Serving day
