How to Make Stir-Fried Sausage with Garlic Sprouts

Stir-fried sausage with garlic sprouts is a quick, flavorful Chinese dish that balances savory, aromatic, and fresh flavors. Perfect for busy weeknights, it requires minimal ingredients but delivers maximum taste. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide.

Ingredients:

- 200g Chinese sausage (lap cheong), sliced diagonally

- 200g garlic sprouts (trimmed and cut into 2-inch segments)

- 2 cloves garlic (minced)

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- 1 tsp soy sauce

- 1/2 tsp sugar

- A pinch of salt (optional, as sausage is salty)

Instructions:

1. Prep the ingredients: Slice the sausage into thin, diagonal pieces for even cooking. Trim the garlic sprouts, keeping the tender stems and leaves separate if the stems are tough.

2. Stir-fry the sausage: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant. Push the sausage to one side.

3. Aromatize: Add minced garlic to the empty side of the wok and stir-fry until golden (about 30 seconds).

4. Combine and cook: Add garlic sprouts, tossing everything together. Drizzle with soy sauce and sugar, then stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until the sprouts are tender-crisp.

5. Season and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with steamed rice.

This dish highlights the smoky richness of sausage and the fresh, peppery bite of garlic sprouts, making it a beloved comfort food. Enjoy!
