Method

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sausage, ginger, and garlic, using your hands or a wooden spoon.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat.

  3. Cook the sausage mixture in the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is browned, crisp, and cooked through (approximately 6-8 minutes).

  4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage mixture to a clean bowl.

  5. Increase the heat to high and add the mushrooms to the skillet. Toss the mushrooms often and cook them until they are browned and starting to release their juices (about 4 minutes). If the skillet looks dry at any point, add a bit more oil.

  6. Add half of the cabbage to the skillet and continue cooking, tossing often, until the cabbage is wilted and tender (approximately 4 minutes).

  7. Drizzle vinegar and soy sauce into the skillet and continue cooking, tossing the ingredients, until the liquid is mostly reduced and the skillet is dry in spots (about 2 minutes).

  8. Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the chives, sausage, and remaining cabbage to create a stir-fry.

  9. Drizzle the stir-fry with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  10. Serve the stir-fry with tortillas, hoisin sauce, and Sriracha for making individual wraps.
