Chinese Red Sausage, also known as Lap Cheong, is a traditional cured sausage commonly found in Chinese cuisine. Made primarily from pork, it features a sweet and savory flavor profile, often enriched with soy sauce, sugar, and rice wine, along with various seasonings. Its distinctive reddish hue comes from the curing process, which also contributes to its firm, chewy texture. Originally from Southern China, it is popular in stir-fries, steamed dishes, and fried rice, adding a rich depth of flavor. While Chinese Red Sausage is a good source of protein, it is typically high in fat, sodium, and added sugars, which can be a concern for those monitoring their intake. Due to its curing methods, it often contains preservatives, so mindful consumption is recommended. Despite these considerations, its unique taste makes it a cherished ingredient in many Asian culinary traditions.
