Chinese Sausage & Chicken in Soy Sauce
Chinese Sausage & Chicken in Soy Sauce
This is very good! I made this on 16 May 2017. We received some Chinese pork sausage from Issan, we can find it locally here as well. I started looking for recipes that used this as an ingredient. Chinese sausage is a sweet, cured pork sausage. Recipe slightly updated with my findings and pricing updated as well.
Ingredients
- 4 links Chinese sausage, short ones or two long ones
- 5 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cubed
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
- steamed rice, for serving
- handful fresh Thai Basil, chopped
For the Sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Prepare a steamer and steam the Chinese sausages for 5 minutes. Remove from the steamer and cut into thin slices diagonally. The reason for the steaming is to soften the sausage as it is quite hard out of the package. Photo shows steaming complete before cutting them.
- While the sausage is steaming, in a measuring cup mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
- Heat oil in a frying pan or wok on medium heat and cook the garlic until fragrant. Add the sliced sausage and cook for a quick 30 seconds, then add the chicken.
- Cook until the chicken is no longer pink or very little pink, this is good right here.
- Pour the sauce in and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has reduced a bit. Remove from heat, stir in the spring onion and basil, cover and let stand for 5-10 minutes.
- Ready to serve.
- Serve with rice on the side and some of the sauce spooned over the rice.
Notes
The thighs would be about a 1 kilo, so I will estimate this at 75 Baht. The sausages will cost about 75 Baht. For 4 servings, this is about $1.10 per serving.

I made this on 16 May 2017, and it is easy, and excellent! Two thumbs up from my Thai wife who loved this dish. Made exactly as written, the sauce was perfect as well. On my Go-to list and highly recommended.
