Cantonese Style Sausages (广式腊肠)

Cantonese style sausages are easy to make at home. 

Main ingredients: 2 Kg belly pork, 5 meter collagen sausage skins (26mm)

Spicies (Seasoning): 80 g sugar, 25 g salt, 25 g light soy sauce, 30 g dry gin (or Chinese spirit), 1 g white pepper powder, 1 g ground ginger. 

Methods: 
  1. Chop belly pork to 1 cm thick strips or cubes.
  2. Mix all the spicies well and then blend into the meat. Mix well.
  3. Cut 80 cm lengh susage skins, tie one end, put the other end around a nozzle (or the top of a coke bottle as shown in the photo below). Squeeze the meat in. Chop sticks can be used to help. Tie the sausage every 20 cm with a piece of cotton thread to make three pieces of sausages.
  4. Repeat step 3, make around 15 pieces in totall.
  5. Use a needle, prick about 20 times averagely on each piece of sausages. Gently press and roll the sausages on the surface of a chopping board by hands, driving out the stucked air.     


Hang the sausages in a dry, shady place with good ventilation (I put them in my garage beside my gardening tools). After around 20 days, they will be ready for cooking!
