Looking for different ways to use Chinese sausage? Shelley, a subscriber to the Chinese Food newsletter, writes: "Our exchange student from Hong Kong made us dinner one night. She cooked the Chinese Sausage (sliced into bite-sized pieces), with diced up Daikon Radish (peeled and diced in bite-sized pieces). The Daikon was simmered in chicken stock until it was almost tender, and then the sausage was added for the remaining time. The combination is so tasty that we make it for ourselves at least twice a month." Thanks for sharing!
