Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links sausages (preferably smoked or pre-cooked)
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
Slice the sausages into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Wash and slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Cut the zucchini and carrot into thin half-moons. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat.
Add the sausage slices to the skillet and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and heated through. Remove the sausages and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the onion and carrot, and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the onion begins to soften.
Add the bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Lower the heat to medium, push the vegetables to the sides of the skillet, and add the minced garlic to the center. Stir-fry the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the browned sausage slices to the skillet. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, then sprinkle with black pepper and red pepper flakes if using. Add the salt if desired.
Stir everything together to ensure the sausages and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes.
Remove from heat and serve hot on its own, or pair with steamed rice or noodles for a more complete meal.
