Ingredients
  

For the Stir Fry
  • 1 pound Smoked Beef Sausage Adds a robust flavor and protein boost; swap for chicken or turkey sausage for lighter options.
  • 4 cups Cabbage Provides a crunchy texture; can be replaced with bok choy or kale.
  • 1 medium Onion Brings sweetness and depth; use scallions or shallots for a milder flavor.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic is best but powder can work in a pinch.
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil Perfect for high-heat sautéing; feel free to substitute with olive oil.
  • 1 cup Bell Pepper Optional; adds vibrant color and sweetness.
  • 1 medium Carrot Optional; julienned works best.
  • 3 tablespoons Tamari Infuses umami richness; choose low-sodium for a healthier twist.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Enhances flavor profiles.
  • 1 tablespoon Low-Carb Sweetener Optional; honey is a substitute for non-low-carb diets.
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes Optional; adjust based on heat preference.
  • 3 tablespoons Chopped Green Onions Used as a fresh garnish.
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seeds Adds a crunchy, nutty touch.

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet or wok

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients and prepare your sauces, ensuring everything is ready to streamline your cooking.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add avocado oil, and sauté the sliced smoked beef sausage for 6-9 minutes until crispy.
  3. Add the sliced onions to the pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and tender.
  4. Toss in the optional bell pepper and julienned carrot, sautéing for another 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Add minced garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Gradually add shredded cabbage, sautéing for 5-8 minutes until tender yet still slightly crunchy.
  7. Return the sautéed sausage to the vegetable mixture and pour in tamari and sesame oil, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasonings before serving, adding sweetener or adjusting saltiness if desired.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds, serving hot with rice or on its own.
