  When you buy vegetarian ribs, soak them in water for about 1 hour to soften. Then, remove them, press tightly to drain water, and shred the vegetarian ribs.

  Chop the vegetarian ham and beetroot into small pieces and then blend until smooth.

  After soaking in water, clean the chicken thigh mushrooms and let them drain, then cut them lengthwise into 4 pieces.

  Fry the potato starch and vegetarian ribs

  Place a pan on the stove, add about 5 tablespoons of cooking oil, and fry the potato starch strips. When the potato starch strips have puffed up and become crispy, remove them and soak in a bowl of water to soften, then take them out to drain.

  In the same pan with oil, fry the small pieces of vegetarian ribs until crispy, then remove them to drain the oil.

  Stir-fry the filling

  Place a pan on the stove, sauté the minced shallots until fragrant. When the shallots are golden and fragrant, add the chicken thigh mushrooms and ground vegetarian ham to stir-fry. Season with 3 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 2 teaspoons of vegetarian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of vegetarian fish sauce, and stir well to absorb the seasoning.

  Add the small vegetarian ribs and pureed beetroot to stir-fry together. Add whole peppercorns and stir well.

  For the tapioca starch and flour, mix with 1 tablespoon of water and add to the pan. Stir well to bind the filling.

  Wrap the sausage

  Place a banana leaf under a layer of rice paper, moisten the rice paper and add the filling to wrap it into the shape of a sausage.

  Tip:

  • To make it easier to peel off after steaming, you should spread a thin layer of cooking oil on the banana leaf before rolling the sausage.
  • To dry quickly when sunbathing, you should roll the sausage with a thickness of about 2cm.
  • You should roll the sausage tightly to create a nice shape and prevent the filling from falling out.

  After wrapping the sausage and packaging it in banana leaves, you wrap an additional layer of plastic wrap around it and tie it tightly at both ends.
