Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound sausage
- 4 cups cabbage
- 1 cup bell peppers
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
Seasonings and Oils:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Slice 1 pound of sausage into bite-sized pieces. Chop 4 cups of cabbage and 1 cup of bell peppers into uniform strips. Thinly slice 1 medium onion and mince 3 cloves of garlic.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F. Drop sausage pieces into the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy edges form.
- Toss minced garlic and sliced onions into the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes until your kitchen fills with an aromatic fragrance and onions become translucent.
- Add chopped cabbage and bell pepper strips to the skillet. Stir continuously for 4-5 minutes, ensuring vegetables maintain a slight crunch and absorb the sausage’s delicious flavors.
- Pour 3 tablespoons of soy sauce over the mixture. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if you enjoy a spicy kick. Stir thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat. Transfer your sizzling stir fry directly onto warm rice or noodles, allowing the juices to mingle and create a mouthwatering meal.
Notes
- Slice sausage into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking and prevent burning.
- Select a sturdy skillet that conducts heat evenly for the best stir fry results.
- For a low-carb version, replace rice or noodles with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles to reduce carbohydrates.
- Swap pork sausage with chicken or turkey sausage for a leaner protein option that still delivers excellent flavor.
