Kielbasa sausage stir-fry
Ingredients
- 1 link Kielbasa sausage
- 3 cups snow peas
- 1 unit medium to large carrot
- 2 units yellow or red bell peppers
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Preparation:
-
Wash the vegetables.
-
Prepare the snowpeas for cooking by cutting from the tip of each pea and pulling out the tough string that runs alongside it. This step is a bit time-consuming, but necessary.
-
Peel and thinly slice carrot (approx. 1/16th of an inch thick)
-
Julienne the peppers into bite-sized pieces. Remove and discard the seeds.
-
Peel and crush the garlic cloves.
-
Cut the sausage into bite-sized pieces (about 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick).
Cooking:
-
Place 1 tablespoon of oil on a wok or large frying pan. Allow to heat on medium to high. Oil should heat up promptly.
-
Add the garlic and stir for a couple of seconds. Then add the sausage. Do not allow garlic to burn.
-
Cook the sausage for approximately 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Once the sausage browns slightly, set aside.
-
Add the remaining oil to the frying pan. Add the vegetables and stir. Add the water and cover while fire is on medium high. Wait three minutes.
-
Uncover the vegetables and stir. Add salt and soy sauce. At this point, you may taste a piece of pepper and add more salt if needed.
-
Add the sausage to the vegetables and stirfry for another minute.
-
Serve with white rice or quinoa.

Enjoy!
