My Favorite Breakfast Meat: Chinese Sausage

I love these when they're made into a Thai salad "Yum Kun Chiang." The sausage is sliced thinly and mixed with lime juice, fish sauce, onions, cucumbers, and cilantro.

hmm, having a bunch of eggplant and zucchini stick to the grill while the fat in the chicken on the grill was becoming quite the fire hazard

Oh man, Chinese sausage is sooooo good...and there's a place that sells them right down the road...hmmm. XD

Best part is, you can eat them for any meal of the day, and they're still fantastic.

My chinese grandma makes a wonderful hash with it. She chops it up, mixes it with ground pork, water chestnuts and soy sauce and steams it.

I love chinese sausage! Only trouble is I can't seem to find it anywhere around here.

Cut up, fried crispy and put in fried rice. Add a fried egg on top and you're golden.

I love them. They're always in the house. It's something we have to restock on the moment we are out of them (or we don't let ourselves ever run out of them)

They make a comforting and highly unhealthy, but mostly comforting quick meal.

With breakfast mantou though, I think I prefer fish or pork floss. Just rip the mantou into bite sized pieces and press the torn side down into the floss to pick up a generous, fuzzy layer and eat! Yum...it's got the same kind of sweet/savory flavor profile as lap cheong though.

I'm glad to hear so many people love Chinese sausage! :) Thanks for the great dish suggestions. Just chiming in because...er, I don't really have anything useful to say. I don't know anything about the different brands of sausage; when I see em at the Chinese markets they're just hanging there. Un..branded.

As for mantou, I would think any Chinese bakery has em. I wouldn't know where to get them aside from Chinese bakeries/supermarkets.

what are the good brands to get? I love them in sticky rice but never know which to purchase when on my own.

ps. my friend's mother, who is Cantonese, uses the name of these sausages (lap cherng) to refer to people in spandex leggings. I can't help but laugh each time I see someone squeezed into leggings now.

Me!! My new fave is a steamed bun that has small pieces of Chinese sausage & green onion mixed in.

easiest dinner ever: rice cooker with chinese sausage (always in my freezer) and bok choy in the steamer basket above rice with dashi and shiitake. the oil seeps down and flavors everything, like people do with chorizo.

Love the stuff. My Filipino grandmother used to make fried rice with it all the time. I can't see or smell Chinese sausage without thinking of her.

My Favorite Breakfast Meat: Chinese Sausage

yes! i absolutely love chinese lap cheong (sp? my cantonese is awful). my parents make mantao and then steam these on the side. sometimes my dad will nestle them into a pot of rice before he cooks it so the savory flavors of the sausage mix with the rice.

From Serious Eats

My Favorite Breakfast Meat: Chinese Sausage

awesome! I'm wondering why I haven't seen chinese sausage in the dishes of the point & pick steam tray places I visit anymore. Was there a price hike?

Been wanting to buy them from the meat markets. Are they already cooked? ...the ones hanging.

I've only tried one brand so far, and didn't like them that much, they had a weird off/sweet flavor, but I think I'll keep trying brands till I find one I like. I normally love sausage.

ME! Chinese sausages are six-inch gems! I'm currently obsessed with making this Chinese Sausage and Cucumber Salad (http://gastronomyblog.com/2009/05/28/chinese-sausage-and-cucumber-salad/. Perfect summertime food, for sure!

I love lop cherng in fried rice, sticky rice, and inside zongzi or loh mai gai (lotus leaf chicken with sticky rice). I tend to like Chinese sausage with dried shrimp with some sort of carb.

From Serious Eats

My Favorite Breakfast Meat: Chinese Sausage

I do like them in fried rice or the wintery steamed sticky rice with other cured pork and dried shrimps. But just comparing Chinese sausages, I like the darker duck liver one (or is it pork liver) as well. Yummy richness.

Tried to grill a pizza. The dough was to thick so the outside was burnt and the inside was not cooked.

It wasn't funny to me but to everybody else. While grilling the grill fell over on my feet. I wound up with a grill full of meat and coals on my bare feet.

About the worst thing I did was one time I put some chicken on the grill and then went inside to let it cook. I sat down and proceeded to fall asleep and slept for about 3 hours. I woke up and could smell the burned chicken outside. The chicken was no longer recognizable, it looked like a grill full of hockey pucks almost.

Ugh. I was trying to grill salmon. Well, I didn't know that everything basically falls apart near the end...so let's just say the humans didn't have salmon that night, and the briquettes did.

My mishap was even attempting to grill and having flames shoot up.

Once I left the food on the grill too long and it burned.
