Potato & Chinese Sausage Hash image

I like potatoes and I like Chinese sausage, so here is something I just threw together as I always seem to have the main ingredients on hand, hash with an Asian twist. The sausage is a sweet variety and gives the hash a different flavor. Overall, easy and tasty dish.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 medium potatoes, diced
3 chinese sausage links
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
pepper, as desired
lard or cooking oil, as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Potatoes scrubbed and ready for dicing. I totally forgot to add the onion and bell pepper to the board for the photo. oh well, not a show stopper. Now the sausage is air dried but not safe for consumption yet.
  • 2. Chinese sausage is stable at room temp before opening the package and refrigerated after that. This is a hard sausage, and a trick to get it soft is to steam it first before adding to a dish. The steaming also cooks it mostly through. The 3 sausages added to my hot steamer (rice cooker).
  • 3. Steam for 20 minutes. Here you can see the sausage has swelled up a bit. After 20 minutes, remove them to a cutting board and dice them.
  • 4. While the sausage is steaming, heat some lard or cooking oil, maybe 2-3 tablespoons, in a large non stick pan on medium heat. While the pan is heating, dice the potatoes and add them to the hot pan and give a good shake or two of pepper if you like.
  • 5. Then add the bell pepper and onion and mix into the potatoes.
  • 6. When the sausage is ready, dice that and add to the pan.
  • 7. Continue cooking until the potatoes are browning up and tender.
  • 8. Serve with sides of your choice.
