What is lap xuong?

Lap xuong, also known as Chinese sausage, is a type of dried, sweet and savory sausage commonly used in Asian cuisine. It is typically made from pork and pork fat, along with seasonings such as sugar, soy sauce, salt, and various spices such as garlic, pepper, and Chinese five spice.

Lap xuong has a distinctive reddish color and a slightly sweet flavor, making it a popular ingredient in dishes such as fried rice, noodle soups, and stir-fries. It is often sliced thinly before being added to dishes, and can be eaten either cooked or uncooked.

In addition to its use in savory dishes, lap xuong can also be enjoyed as a snack on its own or added to sandwiches or salads. It is readily available at Asian markets and specialty stores.
