🍽️ Sausage in Sticky Rice Sausage

Glutinous sausage wrapping meat sausage.

Sausage in Sticky Rice Sausage is a classic Taiwanese night-market snack that started in Taichung and swept the whole island. A grilled, slightly charred glutinous rice sausage is split open and wrapped around a pan-seared, juicy Taiwanese pork sausage, then topped to taste with pickled cabbage, cucumber slices, garlic, crushed peanut and cilantro, and brushed with sweet chili or soy paste. The rice sausage is soft and chewy with distinct grain, while the pork sausage shows clear fat and lean and bursts with juice, giving each bite layers of chewy, crisp, salty and sweet. It is usually eaten on the go, especially at Taichung night markets such as Fengjia and Yizhong Street. Best when grilled and wrapped fresh and eaten hot, it is both a local nostalgic favorite and a must-try street icon for visitors exploring Taiwan's night markets.
