3. What is Chinese Sausage?
Chinese sausage, known as "Lap Cheong" in Cantonese or "腊肠" (Làcháng) in Mandarin, is a type of cured sausage popular in many regions of China. It is made from meat that is chopped or minced, mixed with seasonings, and stuffed into natural casings, then fermented and dried. This traditional method of meat preservation and production has been used in China for centuries, resulting in a unique and flavorful sausage variety.
4. Which Rice to Use
There’s no specific requirement for the type of rice used in Chinese Sausage Rice, but I prefer jasmine rice. This medium-grain rice has a slightly sticky texture and a subtle fragrance. Chinese Wuchang rice is also a great choice.
