Stir fry
Around one month or two months before Chinese spring festival, people are busy making their own Chinese sausages. In fact, my mom’s sausage differs from my grandmother and further differs from my mother in law because in Chinese cooking, usually we do not weight the amount of pork and spices. Instead cooks make the sausages according to their own experience and taste reference. I will introduce how to make Chinese sausage at home if some of my readers are interested near the spring festival of this year.
Sichuan sausage is featured by the spicy tastes. Usually pepper powder, whole Sichuan peppercorn whole seeds or power is mixed with meat. Additionally, Sichuan style sausage is featured by the making process. Due to the air humidity, it would be hard for people in Sichuan province to wither the sausage naturally. As a result, most of the sausages are smoked by tree branch of trees (usually poplar). Smoking process gives the sausage a unique flavor.
Additionally, there are also other Chinese sausage for example rice sausage in Yunnan province and Dongbei province.
There are many ways to use Chinese sausage. The most basic and simplest way is to boil or steam and further slice into thin pieces.
Additionally, Chinese sausage can be used in stir-fry recipes, clay pot recipes or fried rice recipes.
Sliced sausage can be used in stir-fry recipes with cabbage, snow peas or other vegetables. If you love to add meat or vegetables in rice, you can try cooked rice with diced or sliced Chinese sausage.

Boil
Put the sausages in pot along with enough water to cover and then bring the water to a boiling. Continue cooking for around 10 to 20 minutes or until you can easily insert a chopstick.
With steamer: place washed sausage on the steamer of your electric cooker with the rice and water placed in the cooker.
Without steamer: Cook the rice until the water is almost absorbed, place the sausage gently on the surface of the rice. Be carefully with the vapour when opening the electric rice cooker. Wait until the sausage ready along with the rice.
