Ingredients
  

  • 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)

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Slice the sausage into bite-sized rounds or strips.
  2. Step 2: Chop the vegetables: Thinly slice cabbage, onion, and any optional veggies for even cooking.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the sauce: Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and any sweeteners or spices in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: 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.
  5. Step 5: In the same pan, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Toss in the cabbage and cook for 3-5 minutes until it softens but retains a slight crunch. Add optional veggies if using.
  7. Step 7: 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.
  8. Step 8: Remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh herbs for extra flair.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with tofu. Adjust spice levels to taste by modifying chili flakes.
