Fried Sausage

Fried sausage is a traditional Beijing snack, and belongs to the Beijing cuisine. The sausage is made by filling the casing with minced meat and starch, or only using starch to fill the casing of the sausage. Then, the sausage is deep-fried in the oil which is extracted from pigs’ intestines, so the traditional fried sausage always has a smell of pigs’ intestines. However, nowadays taking health into consideration, people rarely use pig intestine oil to fry the sausage. Before frying the sausage, people need to slice the sausage first. Then, the slices of the sausage are fried in a pancake pan until both sides are crispy. Pour the brine and garlic sauce over the fried sausage, and eat it when it is still hot.
