Ingredients
Main Ingredients (Braised Italian Sausage with Lettuce in Lemon Butter: 2 servings, Char Siu Potato Cutlets: 4 pieces)
- Smoked Aged Italian Pork Sausage 1 pack (5 pcs)
- Lettuce 1/2 head
- Potato 1/2 (100g)
- Premium Black Char Siu 8 slices
- All-purpose flour, as needed
- Beaten egg, as needed
- Panko breadcrumbs, as needed
- Frying oil, as needed
- Lemon wedges 2 pcs (optional)
Seasonings
- [A] Salt, to taste
- [A] Olive oil 1 tbsp
- [A] Lemon juice 1/2 tbsp
- [A] Butter 10g
- [A] Garlic 1 clove
- [A] Water 2-3 tbsp
- [B] Salt, to taste
- [B] Milk 1 tbsp
Steps
- Mash Smoked Aged Italian Pork Sausage 1 pack (5 pcs) with a fork. This helps the umami flavors to release into the lettuce and steaming liquid.
- Tear Lettuce 1/2 head into bite-sized pieces by hand.
- Heat Olive oil 1 tbsp and Garlic 1 clove (minced) in a frying pan over medium-low heat until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the mashed sausage to the pan and sauté.
- Add the lettuce, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and add 2-3 tbsp water.
- Cover and steam. This method keeps the lettuce crisp and colorful, while infusing the sausage with flavor and a plump texture.
- Remove the lid, add 10g butter and 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, and stir until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.
- Cut Potato 1/2 (100g) into 4 wedges.
- Place the cut potatoes in a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave until tender.
- Mash the heated potatoes and season lightly with a pinch of salt. The char siu is already flavorful, so season the potatoes minimally.
- Gradually add 1 tbsp milk while mixing until you achieve a smooth mashed potato consistency.
- Place a small amount of mashed potato onto 8 slices of Premium Black Char Siu.
- Sandwich the potato with another slice of char siu, pressing the edges to shape.
- Coat the shaped char siu and potato with all-purpose flour, then dip in the beaten egg. If any potato filling falls off, the egg wash will help it stick.
- Coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently on both sides to adhere.
- Heat frying oil in a pot to 170°C (340°F) and fry the shaped char siu potato cutlets. Since they are already cooked, fry until golden brown.
- Once golden brown on one side, flip and fry the other side until golden brown as well.
- Serve the fried cutlets on a plate, and garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
