Cantonese sausage with snow peas is a classic stir-fry that balances savory, sweet, and crisp flavors. Here’s a simple guide to making this delightful dish.
Ingredients:
- 150g Cantonese sausage (lap cheong), sliced diagonally
- 200g snow peas, trimmed and strings removed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp oyster sauce
- ½ tsp sugar
- Salt to taste
- Optional: A few drops of sesame oil for aroma
Steps:
1. Prep the ingredients: Slice the Cantonese sausage into thin, diagonal pieces. Rinse snow peas and pat dry. Mince garlic.
2. Blanch snow peas: Boil water, add snow peas, and cook for 1–2 minutes until bright green. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water to retain crispness.
3. Stir-fry sausage: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add sausage slices and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly browned and fragrant.
4. Aromatics and sauce: Add minced garlic, stir until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Toss in blanched snow peas.
5. Season: Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir-fry for 1 minute until well combined. Adjust salt if needed.
6. Finish: Turn off heat, add sesame oil (if using), and toss once. Serve hot with steamed rice.
Tips: For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of five-spice powder with the sausage. Avoid overcooking snow peas to keep them crunchy. This quick, vibrant dish embodies the essence of Cantonese home cooking—simple yet delicious.
