Taiwanese Crispy Sausage
1.
Prepare the ingredients needed for the small crispy sausage. The meat filling is the pork foreleg, the fat-to-lean ratio is 1:9 or 2:8
The casing I choose is a 1.8-2 cm fine sheep casing, and the cooking wine can be replaced with rice wine and yellow wine.
2.
Pour the pork filling, soft white sugar, salt, cooking wine, and five-spice powder into the basin
3.
Use chopsticks to mix the minced meat and seasonings evenly
4.
Add an appropriate amount of water and stir well
5.
Add water starch in portions (60 g starch + 70 g water)
6.
Use chopsticks to beat the minced meat in one direction and wait for it to be strong. Put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
7.
Rinse the sheep casings and soak them in clean water for about 30 minutes (do not soak for too long or the casings will break easily)
8.
Pour the delicious meat into the sausage stuffer. The sheep casing is taken out and put on the root of the funnel of the hand-operated sausage stuffer, the tail of the casing is knotted and sealed
9.
Pour the meat into the casing evenly
10.
Check the enema, if there is air, pierce it with a thin sewing needle, let out the air, and smooth the meat.
11.
Every 10 cm, tie a knot with cotton thread to tie the sausage to the required length
12.
Hang it to dry the epidermis, and it will feel dry and hard.
13.
Boil water in the pot to 80 degrees, throw in the sausages, simmer for about 20 minutes on low heat, cook until the sausages rise, then turn off the heat
14.
Remove the sausage, cool the skin, and put it in a fresh-keeping bag for storage. When eating, pour a small amount of oil into the pan, and fry the sausage until the skin is golden and crisp.
Tips:
1. If there is no enema machine, it can be directly filled with chopsticks and funnel, which requires a certain amount of patience;
2. A small bag of casing can process about 6 kg of fine sausages. The casing can not be used up after soaking. You can use kitchen paper to soak up the water, sprinkle salt on it, and store it in the refrigerator for next use;
3. You can freeze and eat slowly if you can't finish it in a short time
