Ingredients

• 12 oz smoked sausage
• 1.5 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
• 1 medium onion
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 tsp salt (optional)
• 0.25 tsp black pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Core and seed the bell peppers, then slice them into thin strips. Peel and slice the onion into thin wedges.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage and set it aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the bell peppers and onion, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but remain crisp.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet along with the pineapple chunks. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the stir fry and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and evenly coat all ingredients.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper if desired. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot over steamed rice or your favorite noodles. Enjoy!
