Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Ha Giang province, Lạp xưởng gác bếp also known as Hagiang smoked sausage, stands as a testament to the region’s rich culinary heritage. This distinctive sausage is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, captivating the taste buds of locals and visitors alike.
Main ingredient
The main ingredient of this dish is pork, especially the pork fat. Pork will be divided into two parts, the lean part will be used to make smoked pork, and the lean meat and fat will be used to make sausage (lạp xưởng). Sausages are often kept at a distance from the fire stove, and then the smoke rises and sticks to the meat for a long time, forming a black film. When eating, we just need to separate the black part, and we can enjoy the fragrant meat inside.
Creation of many dishes with sausage
– Fried rice with sausage (Cơm chiên lạp xưởng)
Fried rice will often be combined with Lạp xưởng gác bếp, green beans, carrots, and thinly sliced eggs. The fried rice has the golden color of eggs, a bit of spicy red chili that numbs the tongue, and crispy scorched rice will suit the taste of many people.
– Stir-fried sausage and peas (Lạp xưởng xào đậu Hà Lan)
If you want to balance the nutrition of your dish, then stir-fried sausage with peas or vegetables is suitable for your choice. You can stir-fry with string beans, peas, carrots, and corn kernels… to add color, flavor, and nutrition to the dish.
It is best to use a pan without oil, the sausages will release the fat, then use that fat to stir-fry vegetables to avoid the dish being too greasy.
– Grilled sausage (Lạp xưởng nướng)
You can just put sausages on a charcoal grill, so the fat on the sausages will melt away. It will be less fatty, and taste better.
