Equipment

Ingredients

For the Stir Fry

  • 1 pound smoked sausage adds a rich, smoky flavor that's the star of the dish
  • 1 medium green cabbage sliced, providing a crunchy texture that complements the sausage perfectly
  • 1 large onion sliced, adds sweetness and depth to the stir fry
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced, enhances the color and adds a mild sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil essential for sautéing and preventing sticking

For Flavor

  • 3 cloves garlic minced, packs a punch of aromatic goodness
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce a must for that umami richness
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil adds a nutty aroma and enhances the overall flavor profile
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper for a subtle kick
  • salt to taste, balances all the flavors perfectly

For Garnish (Optional)

  • 2 green onions sliced, adds a fresh pop of color and flavor
  • sesame seeds for sprinkling, contributes nutty texture and visual appeal

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.

  • In the same skillet, add sliced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent.
  • Add minced garlic and stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add sliced cabbage and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Return the browned sausage to the skillet and stir well for about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Season with salt to taste.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
