Description
This Sausage & Cabbage Stir Fry is a quick, one-pan meal packed with savory smoked sausage, crisp-tender cabbage, and flavorful aromatics. A low-carb, high-satiety comfort dish perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
200g (7 oz) smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
1 medium cabbage (400g), thinly sliced
1 medium onion (150g), sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 medium bell pepper (150g), sliced (optional)
1 medium carrot (100g), julienned (optional)
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp honey or low-carb sweetener (optional)
Pinch of chili flakes (optional for heat)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced sausage and sauté until browned, about 5–6 minutes.
2. Add the sliced onion and garlic. Cook until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes.
3. Stir in the cabbage, and toss to coat. Let cook for 6–8 minutes until wilted but still slightly crisp.
4. If using, add bell pepper and carrot; cook for another 3 minutes until slightly tender.
5. Drizzle in soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and chili flakes. Stir well to combine and let everything cook together for 2 more minutes.
6. Adjust seasoning with salt or pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
This dish can be made spicier by adding chili garlic paste or fresh jalapeño.
For keto-friendly, skip the carrot and use a keto-approved sweetener.
Leftovers taste even better the next day — refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
