Notes

  • Use lightly seasoned pork sausage.  We love Bob Evans Naturally.
  • Ground pork, ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken can be substituted for the pork sausage.
  • Cut your carrots and onions thin. Finely shred your cabbage, so it cooks quickly and evenly.
  • You can substitute 12-14 ounces of packaged coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw for the veggies. 
  • Garnish the dish with green onions or sesame seeds. 
  • This dish is best served immediately while the vegetables are still slightly crisp-tender and the pork is warm.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave.
