Treat your ingredients with care...
- Salsiccia sausages — Ensure the sausages are fully cooked before slicing them for stir-frying. This will help retain their juiciness and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Ginger — Grate the ginger just before using to maximize its flavor and aroma.
- Chilies — Adjust the amount of chilies according to your spice preference. Remove the seeds for a milder heat.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of chili oil or sprinkle some red pepper flakes before serving.
- Customize the vegetable selection based on your preference. Bok choy, snow peas, or bean sprouts would make great additions.
- 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.
- Serve the Hakka-style Salsiccia Stir-Fry with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serving advice
Serve the Hakka-style Salsiccia Stir-Fry hot as a main course. It pairs well with steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with fresh cilantro for added freshness and color.
Presentation advice
