Ingredients

• 1 lb pork sausage, spiral-cut

• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
• Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

How to Make Spicy Sausage and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the spiral-cut sausages to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through.
3. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
5. Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, and continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
6. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
7. Return the cooked sausages to the skillet, then pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
8. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider marinating the sausages in soy sauce and garlic for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
• If you like it spicier, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha.
• Use a mix of bell pepper colors for a more vibrant dish.

Easy Variations

• Swap pork sausage for chicken or turkey sausage for a lighter option.
• Add other vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or carrots for more texture and flavor.
• For a vegetarian version, use plant-based sausage and add tofu for protein.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine rice or brown rice for a wholesome base.
• Noodles tossed in sesame oil for a heartier meal.
• A fresh green salad to balance out the meal.
• Quick-pickled veggies for a tangy crunch.
