Description
A speedy American-Asian fusion dish where smoky halal-friendly sausage melds with tender-crisp cabbage in a savory soy-sesame sauce. One-pan cooking ensures maximum flavor with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Smoked sausage (beef or chicken) 200 g (7 oz) – sliced into rounds; use turkey, halal-certified beef, or plant-based for halal/vegan
Cabbage (green or savoy) 1 medium (400g) – thinly sliced; can sub coleslaw mix
Onion 1 medium (150g) – sliced
Garlic 2 cloves – minced
Olive or avocado oil 2 tbsp – high smoke point
Bell pepper (optional) 1 medium (150g) – sliced
Carrot (optional) 1 medium (100g) – julienned
Soy sauce (or tamari) 2 tbsp – use tamari for gluten-free
Sesame oil 1 tsp – toasted for depth
Honey (or erythritol) 1 tsp – optional
Chili flakes pinch – optional for heat
Instructions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown sausage in batches if needed, 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Cook onion until softened, 2-3 mins. Add garlic, bell pepper (if using), and carrots. Stir-fry 2 mins.
Add cabbage and stir-fry 3-4 mins until wilted but still crisp.
Return sausage to skillet. Add soy-sesame sauce and 1/4 cup water. Simmer 2-3 mins until glossy.
Season with salt/pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds.
Notes
Use halal-certified sausage for strict dietary compliance
Stir-fry works well with coleslaw mix for convenience
Cook time increases by 2-3 mins if using frozen vegetables
