Ingredients

• 500 grams Pork shoulder (ground)
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 stalks Lemongrass (finely minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
• 1.5 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 3 leaves Kaffir lime leaves (finely sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
• 1 packet Casing for sausages (optional, if making links)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients: Peel and finely mince the garlic and ginger. Remove the tough outer layers of the lemongrass and finely chop the tender inner stalks. Thinly slice the kaffir lime leaves and chop the cilantro.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground pork shoulder. Ensure it is well-chilled to make it easier to handle.

Step 3

Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, cilantro, Thai red curry paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, kaffir lime leaves, chili flakes, and white pepper to the ground pork.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon until evenly combined. Knead the mixture to ensure the spices are distributed evenly throughout the pork.

Step 5

If you are making sausage links, prepare the casing according to the package instructions (usually soaking them in warm water). Using a sausage stuffer attachment on a meat grinder or a funnel, carefully fill the casing with the pork mixture. Twist the sausages into desired lengths, tying ends if needed.

Step 6

If you prefer patties instead of links, form the pork mixture into evenly sized round patties.

Step 7

Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Cook the sausages or patties for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked, golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Serve hot with a side of jasmine rice, a fresh herb salad, or a sweet chili dipping sauce. Enjoy your flavorful Thai Spiced Sausages!
