Savory Cabbage and Sausage Stir Fry with Peppers and Rice

Ingredients

- 1 small head of cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 pound of sausage (Italian or smoked), sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers (one red, one green), julienned
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt to taste
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Begin by preparing all the vegetables: slice the cabbage, onions, and bell peppers, ensuring even cuts for uniform cooking.

2. Cook the Sausage:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced sausage and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it begins to brown. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

3. Stir Fry the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Stir in the onions and sauté until they are translucent and slightly caramelized, approximately 3 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers and continue to cook for another 3 minutes, allowing them to soften.
- Finally, add the cabbage to the skillet along with the garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir fry for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.

4. Combine Ingredients:
- Return the browned sausage to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables.
- Pour in the soy sauce and mix well to ensure all ingredients are coated evenly.

5. Add the Rice:
- Fold in the cooked rice, ensuring it's well incorporated with the sausage and vegetables.
- Cook everything together for an additional 4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld harmoniously. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.

6. Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the stir fry to serving dishes, garnishing with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
- Serve hot for a delightful dinner experience.
