Ingredients
- 150 g Pork, ground, raw
- 60 g Rice, white, long-grain, cooked
- 15 g Garlic, raw
- 2 g Salt
- 5 g Sugar
Method
- Mix the ground pork, cooled cooked rice, minced garlic, salt and sugar together thoroughly by hand until sticky and well combined.
- Pack the mixture tightly into a clean sausage casing, or shape into small logs wrapped in plastic wrap with a few holes poked in it, and tie into links.
- Leave the sausages at warm room temperature (about 30 °C) for 24-48 hours to ferment until pleasantly sour-smelling, then refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Grill or pan-fry the sausages over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, turning often, until the casing is browned and the pork is cooked through with no pink remaining (74 °C/165 °F).
- Serve hot with fresh cabbage, raw chilies and ginger slices, Isan-style.
