Heat a skillet over medium-high until hot, about 2 minutes. Add oil and swirl, then add sausages in a single layer. Sear for 8–10 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes.
Lower heat to medium and push sausages to the side; add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Mix cornstarch with cold water for slurry. Pour honey mixture into the pan, stir in the slurry, and simmer gently for 1–2 minutes until thickened.
Spoon the glaze over the sausages, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until the glaze clings. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F). Remove sausages, let rest for 3–5 minutes.
Transfer to a platter, finish with butter or extra honey if desired, and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve warm.

Avoid cooking at too high heat to prevent burning the honey. If desired, prepare sausages a day ahead and reheat before serving.
