Mongolian Salsiccia Stir-Fry

Ingredients

In this Mongolian adaptation of the Italian Salsiccia, the dish incorporates Mongolian spices and cooking techniques. The original Italian recipe typically involves grilling or pan-frying the sausage, while the Mongolian version utilizes stir-frying to infuse the flavors of the sausage with the vibrant vegetables and spices. The addition of Mongolian spices such as ginger and soy sauce gives the dish a distinct Mongolian flair. We alse have the original recipe for Salsiccia (Campania), so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Italian sausage — Ensure the sausage is fully cooked before slicing and returning it to the wok. This will help retain its juiciness and prevent it from becoming tough.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or a drizzle of chili oil to the stir-fry.
• Customize the vegetable selection based on seasonal availability or personal preference.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add it to the stir-fry during the last minute of cooking.
