The world of Chinese cured meats is incredibly diverse. As with many Chinese dishes, cured meats vary by region in flavour and production methods. Our signature wind-dried pork sausage, wind-dried pork and duck liver sausage and wind-dried Chinese bacon are made to old family recipes developed by my grandfather. My parents started producing them in London in 1970 and have been making them ever since.

Poon’s wind-dried pork sausage, lap cheong, has a firm texture and a mildly sweet flavour, laced with aromatic Chinese rose liqueur. It can be eaten pan-fried on its own, steamed over jasmine rice or used in stir-fries. It is extremely versatile and moreish.

How to use: Fry small pieces of the sausage in oil and stir through soaked glutinous rice before steaming. It can also be used to season a dish of greens or vegetables.

120g / 2 sausages

How To Use

  • Steamed over rice: lay whole sausages on top of rice for its last 15 minutes of cooking, then slice. The fat seasons the rice underneath, and it is the heart of claypot rice.
  • Pan-fried: slice thinly on the diagonal and fry in a dry pan for 2 to 3 minutes, until the fat turns translucent and the edges crisp.
  • In fried rice and stir-fries: dice it and fry it first so it seasons the oil, then add everything else.
  • With glutinous rice: fry small pieces and stir them through soaked glutinous rice before steaming.

 

More Information

Lap cheong (臘腸) is Cantonese wind-dried sausage. Lap refers to the last month of the lunar year, when meat was traditionally cured in the cold, dry winter air, and cheong means sausage. A few slices will season a whole pot of rice.
