Ingredients

• 14 oz kielbasa sausage
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sriracha
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch rounds and set aside.

Step 2

Thinly slice the red and yellow bell peppers, cut the broccoli into small florets, peel and julienne the carrot, thinly slice the onion, and finely mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced kielbasa and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the kielbasa from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and broccoli, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked kielbasa to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce over the kielbasa and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat.

Step 10

Serve the Zesty Kielbasa Stir Fry hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles, and enjoy!
