Description
A quick and delicious sausage and cabbage stir fry that combines smoky flavors with fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g (7 oz) smoked sausage (sliced into rounds)
- 1 (400g) medium cabbage (thinly sliced)
- 1 (150g) medium onion (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 (150g) medium bell pepper (optional, sliced)
- 1 (100g) medium carrot (optional, julienned)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp honey or a low-carb sweetener (optional)
- Pinch of chili flakes (optional for spice)
Instructions
- Slice the sausage: Cut it into bite-sized rounds or strips.
- Chop the vegetables: Thinly slice cabbage, onion, and any optional veggies for even cooking.
- Prepare the sauce: Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and any sweeteners or spices in a small bowl.
- Brown the sausage: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and cook the sausage until golden and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the aromatics: In the same pan, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the cabbage: Toss in the cabbage and cook for 3-5 minutes until it softens but retains a slight crunch. Add optional veggies if using.
- Combine everything: Return the sausage to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir well to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh herbs for extra flair.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more chili flakes.
- This dish can be made ahead and reheated, but the cabbage may lose some crunch.
