Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, it's time to add the sausage. Brown it evenly, stirring occasionally. This step takes about 5 to 7 minutes, and you want that beautiful caramelization to develop.
Once your sausage is nicely browned, remove it from the skillet and place it in a bowl. This allows the flavors to meld while you focus on the next steps.
In the same skillet, add the garlic to the remaining fat. Sauté it for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant—this is where the magic begins! You’ll love how the aroma fills your kitchen.
Next, toss in the chopped cabbage. Sauté it for about 3 to 5 minutes, until it begins to soften. The color will change to a beautiful vibrant green, and it will reduce in volume significantly.
Once the cabbage has cooked down, add the sausage back into the skillet. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to mingle.
Season the mixture with salt and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. You'll want the cabbage to start browning and wilting, which enhances the overall flavor.
Finally, when everything looks perfectly combined and cooked, serve your Sausage and Cabbage immediately. It's best enjoyed hot!
