Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground pork
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, chili flakes (if using), and liquid smoke (if using). Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
3. When ready to cook, heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Take a small portion of the sausage mixture and shape it into a small patty using your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. Cook the sausage patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and nicely browned. You can also grill them for a smokier flavor.
5. Once cooked, transfer the sausage patties to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess grease.
6. Serve the Lazy Longanisa hot with garlic fried rice and sunny-side-up eggs for a traditional Filipino breakfast experience. Enjoy!
