Cured Fermented Pork Sausage | Som Moo | Nem Chua | Nam

For those who never had this. The Flavors are Savory, Tangy, with the Perfect amount of Saltiness. So Delicious with Rice or Sticky Rice. I enjoy this with Chili Pepper per bite.

Taste very Similar to Ham in My Opinion. Just with More Texture from the Shredded Pork Skin.

Recipe:

10 Oz of Sticky Rice (A little Water Added to Separate Rice and to Soften).
1 1/2 Lbs of Pork (crucial, remove fat)
2 Tbsp of MSG
1 Tsp of Salt
10 Tbsp of Minced Garlic (Smashed)
1 Package of Nam Powder Seasoning Mixed
8 oz of Pork Skin (I used packaged and ones that I cooked myself).

Instructions 📝

1. Rinse Pork Skin in Cold Water 3-4 Times.

2. Add a little Vinegar. Clean Well. Strain. Thinly Sliced.

If using Raw Pork Skin. Cook for 15-20 Mins. Use same cleaning method above.

3. Let this dry out.

4. Add No Fat Ground Pork to a Mixing Bowl.

5. Add Nam Sausage Seasoning Mix. Sea Salt, MSG, Smashed Garlic and Cooked Rice.

6. Knead Fillings for 10-12 Minutes until Fillings until Firm and Sticky.

This method will cause the mixture to bind together, if it’s not sticky, it fall apart once fermented.

This part is when most people fail because they don’t spend enough time Kneading the Mixture.

If the Mixture is not Sticky, then you did not do it correctly.

7. Roll Desired Amount of Fillings in a Log Tight in Plastic Wrap.

If there is air, it will not ferment correctly. Make sure there is no air bubbles or air in the container or platic wrap.

8. Place in Tubberware. Or Second Method is to Vacuum Seal.

9. Let this Ferment at Room Temperature for Three Days.

A little excess water is fine when you open the wrap. If your Sausages is Mushy and not Firm. Then it did not Fermented properly (Did not Knead enough) (Did not Wrap tight Enough).

If the Sausages is Firm and don’t Break Apart or Crumble when you Slice it then you have Completed this Labor of Luv Mission Properly.


10. Refrigerate once Complete. Can be stored up for a Week for the Best Taste and Quality. Can be Frozen as well.

*Chilies, and Garlic is Optional.
