Ingredients

Scale
  • Smoked Beef Sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds or half-moons
  • Green Cabbage, shredded or chopped into roughly 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced into thin strips (red, yellow, or orange preferred)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1–2 tablespoons high smoke point oil (vegetable, canola, or grapeseed)
  • Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Everything: Slice your beef sausage, chop your cabbage and onion, mince your garlic, grate your ginger, and slice your bell pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together all your sauce ingredients: soy sauce, beef broth, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar (or maple syrup), and cornstarch. Set everything aside.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of your high smoke point oil in a large wok or a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef sausage in a single layer. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until it's nicely browned and slightly crispy. Remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: If the pan seems dry, add another teaspoon of oil. Add the chopped onion to the hot pan and stir fry for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften and become fragrant. Next, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir fry for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the Vegetables: Add the chopped cabbage and sliced bell pepper to the pan. Increase the heat to high. Stir fry continuously for about 5-7 minutes until the cabbage wilts down and becomes tender-crisp.
  5. Combine and Sauce: Return the cooked beef sausage to the pan with the vegetables. Give your prepared sauce a quick re-whisk and pour it over everything in the pan. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes as the sauce simmers and thickens.
  6. Serve Immediately: Remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and fresh green onions. Serve hot.
