Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz kielbasa sausage
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch rounds and set aside.
Thinly slice the red and yellow bell peppers, cut the broccoli into small florets, peel and julienne the carrot, thinly slice the onion, and finely mince the garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the kielbasa from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and broccoli, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked kielbasa to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce over the kielbasa and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
Serve the Zesty Kielbasa Stir Fry hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles, and enjoy!
