How to Make Stir-Fried Green Peppers with Chinese Sausage

Stir-fried green peppers with Chinese sausage is a quick, flavorful dish that balances savory, smoky, and fresh flavors. Here’s a simple guide to making it perfectly.

Ingredients:

- 2 green peppers, sliced into strips

- 150g Chinese sausage (lap cheong), thinly sliced

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- 1 tsp soy sauce

- ½ tsp sugar

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

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Slice the green peppers, removing seeds. Cut the sausage into thin, diagonal pieces for even cooking.

2. Cook the sausage: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly crispy and the oils are released. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry the peppers: In the same wok, add minced garlic and stir until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Toss in the green peppers and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they brighten but remain slightly crisp.

4. Combine and season: Return the sausage to the wok. Add soy sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt (if needed). Stir-fry for 1 minute to let the flavors meld.

Serve hot with steamed rice. The dish pairs the rich, smoky taste of sausage with the crisp, peppery freshness of green peppers, creating a satisfying meal in under 15 minutes. Enjoy!
