Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground pork
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 head garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

Equipment

    Instructions

    • In a bowl, combine ground pork, ground pork fat, sugar, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
    • Add cornstarch. Mix until well-distributed.
    • On an individual sheet of plastic film or wax paper, spoon about a heaping tablespoon of pork mixture and form into a log. Roll and wrap tightly. 
    • Repeat until all the mixture is shaped and wrapped. Arrange sausages in a ziplock bag or airtight container and freeze.
    • To cook, remove wax paper. In a wide pan over medium heat, arrange skinless longganisa in a single layer and add enough water to cover sausages halfway. 
    • Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until most of the water is reduced and sausages are cooked through.
    • Add the oil and cook, turning as needed, until longganisa are lightly browned and caramelized. 
    • Remove from pan and serve hot.

    Notes

    • Cut the plastic film or wax paper in even lengths and use it as a guideline when forming the longganisa for uniform sizes. 
    • If you want to skip making the sausages individually,  spread the pork mixture into about a ½-inch thick layer on a sheet of wax paper. Cut into the desired size with a knife or a pizza cutter, then place another wax paper sheet on top of the mixture to cover.
    • You can also use a piping bag to pipe the mixture on the wax paper easily.
