A simpler way to make this spicy sausage recipe

The recipe below I have given you is when you have access to ALL the ingredients.

But there are times(like a curfew, lockdown or simply keeping your food expense down)when you might not have all the ingredients to make this devilled sausage stir-fry.

Hey, it happens, so what do we do?

We simply work with what we have.

That means, NOT adding banana peppers, onions, green chillies, turmeric, or curry powder. ONLY the sausages with ginger and garlic.

And for the sauce, you use red chilli flakes(even chilli paste would work here), black pepper, ketchup, sugar, pepper, and soy sauce. 

That’s it.

It won’t taste like the Sri Lankan devilled sausage recipe I have posted here but it will do for an emergency cookout.
