Chinese Sausage Salad
- Share via
Chinese sausage, about 5 inches long and 1 inch in diameter, resembles hard dry salami in texture but is quite different in flavor. It’s smoky yet very sweet and wonderful in a salad.
On a warm day, accompany this salad with an icy Tsing Tao beer and finish with mango or papaya slices splashed with lime juice and a touch of salt and chile powder.
Combine lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, ginger and garlic in small bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
Brown sausage in medium skillet over medium-high heat until sausage has rendered much of its fat, about 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
Toss together cabbage, carrots and lettuce in large bowl. Add sausage and dressing and toss again.
Divide salad among 4 plates and garnish each plate with a small mound of bean sprouts.
