To finish:

Method
- Marinade the sausages
Slice the sausages and coat them in oyster sauce, vinegar, salt, steak seasoning, and a touch of chilli jam.
Leave for a little while if you can—this helps the flavour soak in. - Cook the sausages
Heat a wok or large pan and cook the sausages until browned and slightly caramelised.
Remove and set aside. - Stir fry the vegetables
In the same wok, cook the onion, red pepper, and chillies first.
Add the cucumber and spring onions, followed by the spinach at the end. - Bring it all together
Return the sausages to the pan.
Add the sweet chilli sauce and toss everything together until coated and heated through. - Serve hot
Best enjoyed straight from the pan while everything is still fresh and vibrant.
