Sai Gog Khao Jee#EattheWorld

Sai Gog Khao Jee is Laotian Pork Sausage Sandwich which is served on a French baguette. The sandwich is usually filled with pork sausage , topped with carrots, watercress and slathered with a chili sauce to bring it all together. I used whatever is available here. We do not get fresh pork sausages in casings so I made the pork sausage minus the casing, got pork mince which was fatty enough and made sausage patties.

This is a filling sandwich which makes a perfect brunch or dinner.

Ingredients
For the Sausage
250 Grams Pork Mince
2 Tablespoons Coriander Leaves - finely chopped
2 Spring Onions - green and white finely chopped
1 Teaspoon Minced Ginger
1 Tablespoon Lemon grass - white part only, minced
1 Teaspoon Minced Garlic
2 - 3 Shallots - finely chopped
3 - 4 Green Chilies - finely chopped
1 Tablespoon Fish sauce
Salt to taste
For the Chili Sauce 
1 Pearl Onion -  chopped 
2 Cloves Garlic - chopped 
1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce 
1 Tablespoon Chilly Sauce
1 Teaspoon Oil
Other Ingredients 
6 inch lengths of baguette, split and toasted per person
Shredded Raw Papaya, Radish, Carrot
Onions (optional)

Method

For the Chili Sauce 
In a small skillet, heat a tablespoons of the oil. Add the shallot  and cook over moderate heat, stirring a few times, until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a minute. Add the sauces and mix well. Remove this into a bowl and keep aside.
For the Sausage

Mix everything together well to evenly disperse all the ingredients. 

Divide the meat into equal size pieces and roll into sausage shapes.

Fry them on a frying pan for 10 minutes, turning the sides until the meat is cooked and they are brown on all sides.

Assemble each sandwich on a baguette first add the sauce, sausages, shredded veggies and again sprinkle the prepared chili sauce.  

Enjoy!!
