Sausage

A sausage loved by everyone from children to adults. Taiwanese sausage, written as "Xiang Chang," is a popular food characterized by a sweeter flavor than Japanese varieties. Frequently sold at night markets, it is commonly enjoyed with sliced raw garlic. "Xiang Chang" is a semi-dried sausage with the unique flavor of cured meat. Its production involves: (1) Finely dicing or mincing lean pork and back fat. (2) Mixing lean meat with seasonings (salt, sugar, spices, etc.) and aging it in a cool, shaded place. (3) Once the meat is seasoned and becomes tacky, the cured lean meat and back fat are mixed and stuffed into pork casings. (4) They are hung in a cool, dark place to mature through fermentation under controlled temperature and humidity.
