#nonindian - This is a Chinese style sweet and sour recipe, where I substituted chicken with sausages. Absolutely yummy and very quick to make, it can be dished out in no time, if all the ingredients are available. It goes very well with either plain rice, noodles or Chinese fried rice. I added some chilli sambal and chilli sauce to make it more spicy and appetizing. The addition of the assorted bell peppers and green peas gives this dish a very colourful appearance.

Steps

1

Heat oil in a pan and fry the sausages till light brown. Drain and keep aside. Temper the same oil with the dry red chilies and garlic.
2

Saute till the garlic changes colour and add the onion. Saute for a few seconds. Then add the chilli sambal and give it a stir.
3

Add the chopped bell peppers, green peas, salt and pepper powder. Saute on high heat for a minute and then add the chilli sauce and vinegar. Mix well and serve, garnished with coriander leaves.
4

Chilli Sambal - Heat oil in a pan and fry the anchovies till crisp. Drain on a kitchen towel. When cool, grind along with chilies, garlic, lemon grass, shallots, salt, vinegar and sugar to a smooth paste.
5

Heat the same oil in which the anchovies were fried. Saute the prepared paste on a low flame till it turns slightly dark brown in colour and the oil starts to separate from the sides of the pan.
