Small browned sausages served with rice in a plain takeout box.

Longganisa Vigan

Philippines · Southeast Asia

Short description
These short sausages are punchy, garlicky, tangy, and often browned hard enough to caramelize at the edges.
Ingredients
Pork, pork fat, garlic, cane vinegar, salt, black pepper, paprika or annatto, sugar, sausage casing, oil, rice, and egg.
Cultural note
Breakfast plates and market stalls often pair the sausages with rice and egg so their sharp garlic-vinegar flavor has something plain to balance.
Common misconception
They are not sweet breakfast links; this style leans garlicky and sour.
