Ingredients

Scale

Sausage

  • 12 oz smoked sausage, Italian sausage, or turkey sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds

Vegetables

  • 4 cups green or purple cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mixed optional vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, or zucchini), thinly sliced

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or low-carb sweetener (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Cooking Oil and Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, avocado oil, or additional sesame oil for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds or fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the sausage: Cut the sausage into bite-sized rounds or strips to ensure quick and even cooking.
  2. Chop the vegetables: Thinly slice the cabbage, onion, and any optional vegetables such as bell peppers or carrots for uniform cooking and texture.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce or tamari, sesame oil, honey or sweetener if using, and chili flakes for a perfectly balanced stir-fry sauce.
  4. Brown the sausage: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. Add the sausage and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Cook the aromatics: In the same skillet, add the garlic and onion. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  6. Add the cabbage and vegetables: Toss in the cabbage and any optional veggies. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until the cabbage softens but still retains a slight crunch.
  7. Combine all ingredients: Return the browned sausage to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
  8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh herbs for extra flavor and an appealing presentation.

Notes

  • You can substitute any type of sausage you prefer, such as chicken or plant-based sausage.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Add extra vegetables like broccoli or snap peas for more nutrients and color.
  • Adjust chili flakes to your preferred spice level or omit if sensitive to spice.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
