Method
Sausage Preparation and Glaze
Prepare the Sausage Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Kurobuta pork, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, grated ginger, sugar, soy sauce, and sake. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Stuff the Sausages
Rinse the casings thoroughly under cold water. Stuff the sausage mixture into the casings, ensuring they are filled without air pockets. Twist sausages into desired lengths and tie off the ends.
Chill the Sausages
Place the stuffed sausages in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.
Prepare the Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbs honey, and 1 tsp chili flakes. Simmer over low heat until slightly thickened. Set aside.
Glaze the Sausages
During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the sausages with the prepared glaze to caramelize them slightly.
