How to Make Sausage and Garlic Scramble: A Step-by-Step Guide

Sausage and garlic scramble is a quick, flavorful stir-fry that blends savory sausage with crisp, aromatic garlic scapes (or garlic shoots). Here’s a simple recipe to recreate this delicious dish at home.

Ingredients:

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

- 250g garlic scapes, cut into 3-inch segments

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- 1 tsp soy sauce

- ½ tsp sugar

- A pinch of salt (optional, if using salty sausage)

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Slice the sausage into thin, diagonal pieces. Trim the garlic scapes, discarding any tough ends, and cut them into bite-sized segments. Mince the garlic cloves.

2. Stir-fry the sausage: Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until lightly browned and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the garlic scapes: In the same pan, add minced garlic and stir until aromatic (about 30 seconds). Toss in the garlic scapes and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they brighten but remain slightly crisp.

4. Combine and season: Return the sausage to the pan. Add soy sauce and sugar, tossing everything evenly. Cook for 1 more minute to let the flavors meld. Adjust salt if needed.

Serve hot with steamed rice for a satisfying meal. The dish balances the richness of sausage with the fresh, peppery kick of garlic scapes, making it a favorite in Chinese home cooking. Enjoy!
