Ingredients
- 4 sausages or hot dogs, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 sausages or hot dogs, 1 bell pepper, 1 onion, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare your vegetables by washing the bell pepper and onion. Slice the bell pepper into thin strips and the onion into thin slices. Set them aside.
- Next, slice the sausages or hot dogs into bite-sized pieces. Ensure the pieces are uniform for even cooking.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to heat for about 1 minute until it shimmers.
- Add the sliced sausages or hot dogs to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and heated through.
- Once the sausages are browned, add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the sausages.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder over the mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to stir-fry the ingredients for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of soy sauce over the stir-fry, stirring to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once everything is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the sausage or hot dog stir-fry hot, either on its own or over a bed of rice or noodles if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Choose your sausage wisely: Use pre-cooked sausages like bratwurst or hot dogs for faster cooking, or opt for raw sausages for deeper flavor.
- Slice evenly: Uniform cuts ensure even cooking and a professional-looking dish.
- High heat is key: Use a hot skillet or wok to get that perfect sear and prevent soggy vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook in batches if necessary to maintain high heat and achieve nice browning.
- Customize your spice: Experiment with different seasonings like red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for a personal touch.
- Make it a complete meal: Serve over rice, noodles, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Leftovers tip: This stir fry reheats beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep!
