- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Oils
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Chop the cabbage into thin strips and dice the bell peppers and onion.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat sesame oil. Once hot, add the sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

- For less spice, omit red pepper flakes or reduce the amount.
- To keep vegetables crisp, avoid overcooking during stir-frying.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce if needed to make this recipe gluten-free.
