Ingredients
- 7 ounces pork skin
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 17.5 ounces lean pork
- 1.8 ounce garlic pounded
- 3.5 ounces sticky rice
- banana leaf
- Chilies
- plastic wrap or banana leaf
Instructions
- Boil pork skin over medium heat until soft, approx 20 minutes.
- Remove any fat and cut the remaining meat into thin strips.
- Trim and discard the fat from the pork meat, leaving only lean meat. Then, mince the pork using a food processor or butcher's knife.
- Add minced pork, slices of pork skin, sticky rice, garlic, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Knead the mixture until well combined, about 5–10 minutes.
- Lay plastic wrap or a banana leaf on a cutting board, spoon some of the mix onto it. Add a chili, then fold and roll it snugly into a tight cylinder. Seal the ends, press out air, and tie it with a rubber band. Repeat with all the meat to get compact, airtight rolls.
- Store the sausages in a dark place at room temperature for a minimum of two days. Let it rest longer for more tanginess.
