Ingredients:
– 1 pound spicy Italian sausage, sliced into thin rounds
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 large onion, thinly sliced
– 2 bell peppers (red and green), julienned
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
– 1 cup snap peas
– 2 carrots, julienned
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
– Sliced green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your vegetables are sliced and ready to go. This will make the stir-frying process much smoother.
2. Cook the sausage: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.
4. Add aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Add remaining vegetables: Toss in the snap peas and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
6. Combine the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet.
7. Finish the dish: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, stirring everything together until well coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
8. Serve: Serve the stir-fry over a bed of cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
