*This sausage was from our local grocery store. It’s labeled Chinese sausage and resembles an Italian sausage in shape and size. It’s got a pronounced red coloring, and we assume has some pretty standard Chinese spices incorporated. If you don’t have this, substitute lap cheong or another Chinese sausage!
