Servings: 4

Ingredients

Ground pork (1 pound)
Garlic (8 cloves, minced)
Vinegar (1/2 cup (for the sausage))
Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
Brown sugar (2 tablespoons)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
Paprika (1 teaspoon)
Cooking oil (2 tablespoons)
Vinegar (for dipping sauce) (1/4 cup)
Garlic (for dipping sauce) (2 cloves, minced)
Chili flakes (1/2 teaspoon (optional for dipping sauce))

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well-distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
In a small bowl, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing together 1/4 cup of vinegar, minced garlic, and chili flakes (if using). Set aside to let the flavors develop.
Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Shape the marinated pork mixture into small sausage patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Serve the Vigan Longganisa hot, alongside steamed rice and the tangy vinegar dipping sauce for an authentic Filipino experience.
