Equipment
- Meat Grinder
- Food Scale
- Sausage Casings
- Plastic Wrap optional
- Freezer Paper optional
- Tape optional
Ingredients
- 850 grams pork cubed
- 150 grams pork fat cubed
- 16 grams salt
- 135 grams soy sauce
- 11 grams green onions thinly sliced
- 3.5 grams garlic minced
- 2.75 grams oyster sauce
- 1.5 grams black pepper
- 50 grams cabbage finely shredded
- 50 grams carrot finely shredded
Instructions
- Grind meat and desired fat using a meat grinder on a large grind followed by a small grind. Remember, the ideal ratio of meat to fat is about 15%.
- Mix the Chinese dumpling sausage seasonings into the ground meat mixture until evenly distributed throughout.
- Take ground pork mixture and, using a hand-crank sausage stuffer and sausage casings, thread the casing onto the stuffer hose.
- Tie a knot at the end of the casing and begin filling the casings with the ground meat.
- To keep sausage from getting piled up in a heap, arrange it on the counter in a large spiral (as shown in the video).
- Once the entire casing is filled, tie off the other end and begin twisting into desired-sized links.
- Package Chinese dumpling sausage links into serving sizes. Wrap in a layer of plastic wrap and then again in freezer paper.
- Freeze for up to one year.
- Defrost in the refrigerator overnight and cook thoroughly until sausages reach 165°F.
Notes
Seasoning Chinese Dumpling Sausage
While we prefer 75% lean meat with 25% pork fat for our breakfast and Italian sausage, we prefer 85% lean to 15% fat for Chinese dumpling sausage. We also found that measuring in grams yielded the best results.
Using a simple food scale makes measuring your lean-to-fat ratio and spice blends a snap.
