In a large plate bowl, combine the minced meat, carrot, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, salt, black pepper, vinegar, paprika, and corn starch (optional)
Use the spoon to mix them gently. Set aside to prepare to assemble each of the sausages.
Shaping the Sausage
Take 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of minced chicken mixture and put it into the center of the plastic wrap or wax paper
Fold them starting from the bottom to top into a roll shape. Make sure you press them together tightly using your finger. Repeat the rest of the longganisa.
Store into the fridge for several hours to help bind them together
Pan frying the Sausage
Remove the sausage from the fridge
Add vegetable oil into the pan.
Once hot, remove the sausage from the plastic wrap and put it into the pan
Let it fry till it turns brown and cooked. Flip to the opposite side and repeat the process.
Once done, transfer all into the plate with paper towel to drain the excess oil
Serve it with garlic or white rice and egg.
Notes
If you don't have plastic wrap, you can use wax paper
You don't have to freeze the longganisa overnight. Freezing it for 30 minutes only is enough
The corn starch will help bind the meat together, but this is just optional since putting them into the freezer will do the job.
This recipe can make up to 10 to 12 pieces of sausage. But 2 pieces is enough for each person.
