Sweet 'n' Sour Sausage Supper


Sweet n Sour Sausage Supper 

1 c long grain rice (I've also used cooked wild rice, and brown rice)
2 c water
1 tsp salt
1 lb breakfast sausage cut into half-inch coins
1 c chopped onion
½ c chopped celery
1 small green pepper, chopped

Cook rice in the water and salt.

Cook sausage in separate pan till lightly browned. Drain on paper towels, reserving 1 tb drippings to sauté veggies till tender-crisp.

Make sweet n sour sauce:
1 and ½ c brown sugar
½ c vinegar or lemon juice
3 c water
1 clove garlic
3 heaping tbsp cornstarch
1 tb soya sauce

Combine dry ingredients, add vinegar and soya sauce, stir till smooth, add water, pepper and garlic. Stir and cook over low to medium heat till thick and clear.

Mix sausages and veggies, add sweet n sour sauce to both, and heat, stirring once or twice till boiling. Serve sausage mixture over rice.
