Preparation

Prepare the Casings
Rinse the pork casings under cold water to remove any salt. Soak them in a bowl of warm water for about 30 minutes to soften.

Add the Spices
Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the spices are evenly distributed.

Incorporate Ice Water
Gradually add the ice water to the meat mixture. This will help bind the ingredients together. Mix until the mixture is sticky and cohesive.
