If you'd like to try sausage stuffing yourself during this year's Chinese New Year, here's a basic step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
Ingredients: Meat filling: Pork is usually used, but other meats or vegetables can also be added according to personal taste.
Casings: Buy specialized meat enemas that are suitable for different cooking methods depending on the diameter.
Seasoning: salt, pepper, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onion, etc.
Prepare the minced meat: Cut the pork into small pieces or strips and grind it into minced meat with a meat grinder.
Place the ground meat in a large bowl.
Seasoning: Add an appropriate amount of salt, pepper, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onion and other seasonings to the meat filling.
Add an appropriate amount of water or broth to make the meat filling moister and easier to fill into the casing.
Filling: Wash the casing to remove excess water.
Place the casing over the enema and make sure the casing is not broken or slipping.
Start filling the meat filling and slowly push the enema so that the meat filling is evenly filled into the casing.
Binding: On the filled sausage, tie it properly with a rope to maintain the shape of the sausage.
Cooking: Put the filled sausage into the pot and add an appropriate amount of water, so that the amount of water does not exceed the sausage.
Add some seasonings such as cooking wine, ginger slices, and green onions to remove the fishy smell.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sausages are cooked through.
Slice and eat: After the cooked meat sausage is removed, let it cool and slice it, and it can be eaten.
Please note that sausage filling requires a certain amount of skill and patience, if you are not familiar with the filling process, you can start with a simple filling method. In addition, in order to ensure food safety, hygiene should be taken during filling and cooking to avoid food contamination. I wish you success and a happy new year!
