Chinese sausage is made from minced pork mixed with spices and marinated for 6 - 8 hours. |
 |
After the meat has fermented, it will be put into the small intestine that has been cleaned with wine and vinegar. This is also the stage that requires the meticulousness and dexterity of the maker's hands. |
 |
The small intestine was ligated into 6 cm long sections to ensure no rupture. |
 |
The sausages are put into the drying oven. |
 |
After being dried in the oven, the sausage must be dried in the sun to preserve it for a long time. |
 |
After being exposed to enough sunlight, the sausage has a beautiful red color. |
 |
The most popular dish made from Chinese sausage today is grilled or fried. The fatty and slightly sour taste of Chinese sausage attracts diners. Currently, the selling price of Chinese sausage in Hoa Binh Town (Tuong Duong) is 350 thousand VND/kg. |
