About Sausage from Great River Food
Chinese-style sausage, or lap cheong, is a dried, cured pork sausage with a firm texture and a signature sweet-savory flavor, sold frozen and sliced before use. Unlike fresh sausage it is cured, but it must still be cooked before eating. Cooks steam it over rice, stir-fry it with vegetables, or fold it into clay-pot rice, fried rice, and sticky rice. Great River Food offers Great Wall, Flamingo, and Quê Hương sweet and savory varieties.
