Ingredients

- 2 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

2. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Sauté the onion for 2 minutes until it’s soft. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
3. Stir in the thinly sliced cabbage, bell pepper (if using), and julienned carrot (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
4. Return the cooked sausage to the pan. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (if using), and chili flakes (if using). Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until the dish is heated through and the flavors are well combined.
