  • Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage softens but still has a slight crunch.
  • Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir everything together until evenly combined.
  • Stir in the rice vinegar and tamari. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.

Notes

For an even faster weeknight dinner, use pre-shredded coleslaw mix and pre-minced ginger to cut down prep time and cleanup. Coconut aminos can also be used instead of tamari for a slightly sweeter flavor.
