INSTRUCTION
- In a blender, add the following ingredients and blend into fine powder: a handful of dried red chilies, 2 tbsp of Sichuan peppercorn, 1 tsp of cumin seed, 1 tsp of black peppercorn, 12 pieces of cloves, 1/2 of black cardamon, 1 piece of star anise, a small piece of cinnamon, 1 piece of dried orange peel.
- Add 60 grams (3 tbsp) of salt and 40 grams (2 tbsp +2.5 tsp) of sugar to the spice powder. Mix and set it aside.
- You can use pork belly, pork shoulder, pork butt. What I like to do is combine 1 part of pork shoulder and 1 part of pork belly together.
- Cut all the pork into smaller strips. Then slice it into bite-size.
- Add the seasoning to the meat along with 3 tbsp of high-level alcohol. The alcohol content needs to be at least 30%. The higher, the better. Do not skip the alcohol because it has many purposes in this recipe. It kills the bacteria, also changes the flavor and texture of the fat as the day goes by. Mix this until well combined. Cover it with a plastic film and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
- The next day, you can start preparing the casing and the sausage stuffer. Soak the casing in clean water. Take the end and put it on the tube. Make sure you don’t have sharp nails or else you might break the casing by accident.
- Stuff the meat in and push it into the casing. Once it reaches the length that you want. Give it a little squeeze and tie it with the rope. This process takes a little patient and time. You just keep doing it until you finish all the meat.
- Check all the surfaces. Use a toothpick to poke all the air bubbles
- Put all the sausage on a drying rack. Sit in the fridge uncovered for 10 - 15 days. If you see the surface is completely dry, that means your sausage is done.
- When I film this video, it was summertime so I have to put it in the fridge. Here is how you can make the sausage in the winter.
* Temperature: under 10°C or 50°F
* Relative humidity: under 55%
* Weather: Sunny, cloudy, windy;
* Hang the sausage outdoor and let it air dry for 8-15 days
* Important Note: Do not let the sausage get rain on
How to Store Sausage regularly:
* Put the sausage in a sealable bag. It will last 6 months in the freezer;
* If you put the sausage in the fridge, take it out every 10 days. Let it air dry outdoor for a day and put it back into the fridge. In this way, it will last for 3 months.
* When air drying the sausage, follow the rules that I showed before.
