A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
A thick cylindrical sausage, usually with a red casing and a pale, fine-textured cut surface. Check whether the casing needs removal.
In the kitchen
Slice or dice into some Shanghai-style luosongtang. It is also used in cold plates; follow the product label’s storage and serving instructions.
Meat mixtures, seasoning and casings vary by maker. Some versions combine pork and chicken; check the ingredients rather than assuming a single meat or formula.
