Hmong Sausage with Purple Sticky Rice
Hmong Sausage with Purple Sticky Rice
This sausage and purple sticky rice is unbelievably good and really easy to make. All of the sausage ingredients get mixed together and formed onto skewers, much like making kofta or koobideh kabobs. You can either broil or grill the sausage skewers for 6-7 minutes a side. The sausage skewers and sticky rice get served with tiger sauce, which contains cilantro, garlic, Thai chilies, lime juice, oyster and fish sauce. It’s actually really spicy, but goes very well with the sausage. This is a great appetizer for parties and is equally great as your main course.
