Chinese Leeks Sausage Stir Fry
Chinese Leeks Sausage Stir Fry – a fragrant and garlicky stir fry delicious served with steamed rice. Quick and easy to prepare.
Chinese leeks are not always available in my neck of the woods but when they are, I will always pick up a bunch at the Asian grocery store to bring home with me. I am more likely to find it around the Chinese New Year in January and February. The outer layers of their bulbs are usually tinged with red and they are more slender than the ones found here. They also have a more garlicky and pungent flavor, perfect for a stir fry.
Quick and Easy
Like all vegetable stir fries, this Chinese Leeks Sausage Stir Fry is very quick and easy to prepare. The main ingredients are the leeks and sausage. If you cannot get Chinese leeks, please use regular leeks. The flavor will be less garlicky and pungent but it will still be quite delicious.
I Like to remove the sausage casings when using Chinese sausage and it is easy to do. Simply soak them in hot water for 10 minutes and the casings will puff up. Then, simply peel them off and slice at a diagonal into ¼ inch thick slices.
From start to finish, this stir fry can be served in less than 30 minutes. All you need is a bowl of steamed rice to go with this delicious stir fry. Do give it a try.
