Sausage and Cabbage Stir Fry

A quick and filling stir fry made with sausage and cabbage, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1 link of sausage (Italian, smoked kielbasa, or your favorite link), sliced into rounds
  • 1/2 head of cabbage (green or red), thinly sliced
  • Bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
  • 1 onion (yellow or white), sliced
  • 1–2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: shredded carrots, broccoli florets, or snap peas

Instructions

  1. Slice the sausage into 1/4–1/2-inch rounds. Cut the onion and bell peppers into thin strips. Shred or thinly slice the cabbage. Mince the garlic.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add olive oil.
  3. Add the sliced sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 4–5 minutes.
  4. Push the sausage to one side, add the onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add the cabbage and bell peppers, and stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5–7 minutes.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce, stir to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  8. Serve hot straight from the pan, optionally with rice or noodles.

Notes

Use smoked kielbasa for a smokier taste, or Italian sausage for a herby flavor. This dish can be customized with any available vegetables.
