Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz smoked sausage
- 1.5 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 medium onion
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 tsp salt (optional)
- 0.25 tsp black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Core and seed the bell peppers, then slice them into thin strips. Peel and slice the onion into thin wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the bell peppers and onion, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but remain crisp.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet along with the pineapple chunks. Stir well to combine.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the stir fry and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and evenly coat all ingredients.
Season with salt and black pepper if desired. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or your favorite noodles. Enjoy!
