Skinless longganisa
Longganisa is native sausage. The seasonings vary depending on the regional origin. Lucban and Vigan longganisa are garlicky, for instance. Then there is the sweet longganisa called hamonado. Longganisa comes in various sizes as well. Some are made with beef or chicken instead of pork. Sweet or spicy, small or large, longganisa is a popular Filipino breakfast item. If there is a tapsilog for the combo of tapa (fried beef strips), sinangag (fried rice) and itlog (egg), there is longsilog for longganisa, sinangag and itlog.
Longganisa is widely available in most supermarkets and wet markets. Even the skinless variety is not difficult to find. But the way commercial longganisa is seasoned does not always agree with me. I prefer buying them from the provinces where flavors are more distinct. Otherwise, there is always that option of making skinless longganisa at home. Which is what we did a few nights ago.
If you intend to make this dish, I suggest wrapping the formed longganisa in kitchen wax paper and chilling them for a few hours before fying. They will be firmer and less likely to crumble in the hot oil.

hello, i just loved ur recipes & i actually cried when i couldn’t get into ur site for a few days…i am a grandmother of 3 kids who like to eat delicious food & i’m constantly looking for recipes that are easy to do..the antonette on the email is my daughter..i just borrow this computer when i go to this site..thank u for making my kitchen life easier, & i hope u will make more discoveries of food that r easy to do & the kids love too… am truly grateful…Merry Christmas to you & your family & the staff of this site..salamat po..
Hi Clemencia, oh, I cried too. I thought three years of work just went down the drain. Am still transferring files but everything should be good by New Year’s Eve. And… well, my kids are such “food critics” so the recipes will just keep coming.
thanks a lot….
how come i can’t get a printable version anymore?
Patrick, I moved from Expression Engine to Wordpress. Still trying to figure out the printable pages.
i first came across your website when i was searching for a recipe for chocolate-coated polvoron. even if what i got is only choco polvoron, i’ve been hooked on your website. it’s really very helpful especially for someone as “dense” in cooking like me
well, the choco polvoron was a success; my officemates are convincing me to make a business out of it. now i will attempt your longganisa recipe. i don’t particularly like “sweet-tasting” longganisa, i prefer the lucban & vigan ones should i do away with the brown sugar so i can have the lucban/vigan taste?
again thank you for sharing your recipes.
leah
Leah, I suggest adding more garlic and pepper.
Hi! I’m a pinay living in Germany and stumbling into your website has made me less homesick. I already did your paksiw na lechon recipe (used boiled pork, though) and it came out wonderful! Up next is this longganisa recipe!
I was wondering, though, if I can freeze the skinless longganisa then fry them one day, since I’m short on time and I have to do a lot of pre-marinating during the weekend and freezing them for the week’s meals. Oh yeah, don’t laugh, but if I can freeze them.. should I thaw them first before frying?
Thanks again for sharing your fab recipes. Hopefully one day you can also post ingredient alternatives that are universally available. It’s impossible to find ubod here =(
Hello Denise. Yah, you can freeze them. And they can go into the pan directly without thawing BUT they will cause oil splatters.
Re: ubod. They’re available in jars now. Del Monte, I think. Kinda expensive but I think we’re exporting them now.
Hi Connie, what is a soy paste?
cheers Gina
Can I substitute it for a plain soy sauce?
Hi Connie, I forgot to tell you that I actually made this recipe last winter here in Germany and OH MY GOD!!!!! may I just say that it is much much better than store bought skinless longganisa and noticeably less fatty. I added tons of garlic, upon your suggestion. Even my german boyfriend loooooooved it (and to think this is like sausage country!) He was, however, having longganisa burps till the next day (no kidding!)
Gina, soy paste is think soy sauce. The same consistency as hoisin sauce. If you use ordinary soy sauce, the mixture might be watery whereas the soy paste also acts as a binder.
That is so great, Denise. That’s why homemade longganisa is so much better than store-bought. You can control the seasonings and the amount of fat. Commercial longganisa these days are 70% fat.
thnx for ur recipe…hehehe cos my research is done now!!!
hi connie. can i know where i can buy the soy paste. I want to try your recipe. thanks for sharing it.
what can i substitute rice wine with? they don’t have it here in mexico and i really want to try to make this longganisa. my mouth waters just thinking about it! thanks.
This recipe is okay, but It’s not very good. I will no longer make this recipe again..
can i use vegetable protein instead of bread crumbs in this recipe?
ruby, you’re in the best position to answer your own question since it is you who knows what is available in mexico. i don’t even know what they sell in mexico, pampanga.
bhess, the recipe is not very good or you don’t know how to follow instructions? just a thought…
pchy, i never tried using vegetable protein so i can’t answer that question. if you do try and it works, hope you let us know. might be helpful for other readers.
i used lean ground beef instead of pork, ive been looking for ground pork for 3 weeks and havent found it, maybe they dont used much ground pork here in USA, it was good though there no soy paste but its perfect.
Hi Connie, di ko kasi alam kung san makakakuha nung unsweetened bread crumbs? pwede bang wala nun?
thank you so much
qdchair, baka hindi mabuo pag walang bread crumbs. saka mahirap i-form pag masyado malabsa. try mo na lang any kind of breadcrumbs. pwede rin flour kaya lang iba magiging texture.
Connie, this recipe is a lifesaver. Been craving for longanisa all these months that im away from the country. I did some minor adjustments on your recipe to suit my taste (more sugar) and since i couldn’t find soy paste, i replaced it with salt. Had problems finding breadcrumbs so i used corn starch instead. Everything turned out well in the end.
Just 1 question though, what’s the tomato paste for? I can’t seem to detect it’s taste in the longganisa.
Eric, tomato paste adds sourness without unnecessary liquid. Color too. Natural color instead of adding red food coloring.
Connie, in this case, would it be ok to replace the vinegar with the tomato paste, or does the vinegar add a taste of it’s own (im trying to duplicate the longganisa from macdonalds… just need to tweak a bit more)
Eric, tomato paste isn’t as sour as vinegar. You can use lemon juice or kalamansi juice but I wouldn’t recommend ditching the “acid”.
i cant get the printable view of the recipe…
Hi Connie, thanks for posting a lot of wonderful recipes and in particular thanks for posting this longganisa recipe. I’ve been trying to find a longganisa recipe for quite a while now but all of the recipes i’ve come across uses prague power and its not available here in Amsterdam. Thanks again. Finally, i’ll be able to satisfy my husband’s cravings for longganisa he’s been at it for like months now. More power to your site
Hi connie,
marami akong problema parti sa recipe nang longganiza.pwede mo ba akong matulongan.nahihirapan ako sa englisch ko.tagal na kasi akong hindi nagtataglisch.ano ba ang bread crumbs?wax paper pwede bang gamitin yong pang bake na paper?ibig bang sabihin sa ground lean pork is yong tadtad?sorry kong maraming akong tanong.minsan lang kasi akong magtaglisch dito sa amin.tagi germany ako.almost 19 years na.
yen, pang bake na paper is wax paper. bread crumbs = dinurog na tinapay. buy or make your own. ground pork = giniling.

ma’am connie i’ve tried ur recipe ok nmn ung knlabasan. dito po ako sa UK for 8yrs now and i’m really thankful dhil andyan po kyo to help us create delicious meals for our family and friends here in abroad. by the way i am from cabanatuan and there is one store there that sells really nice longganisa, her name is ka otya, cguro pag napasyal kyo doon to visit edna’s cakeland try nyo n din po punta wet market to try that, hehehe. tnx a lot po and more power!
Hi, Carol. I miss our native longganisa from Cabanatuan. Just trying if you happen to have developed a recipe that’s close to our garlic longganisa. Thank you.
pls email me the recipe of skinless longganisa…plss..ynx
One tip that I found useful for making the “sausages” without rolling them in wax paper : use those pastry “piping” bags like the ones they use for icing, but without the tips – I managed to get nice compact longganisa on a tray without much hassle, then I just popped it into the fridge to chill.
“soy paste” sounds like what they call “dark soy sauce” here – light soy sauce is “our” soy sauce (à la Silver Swan and company), dark soy sauce is thick like hoisin sauce as you say.
ang laman ba ng skinless na longganiza parehas din ng longganizang naka-balot? naisip ko lang ngayon.
dati kasi gumagawa rin misis ko ng ganyan sa bahay. binabalot na lang namin sa plastic wrap tapos lagay sa fridge.
close kasi sa lasa ng tosino kaya nagpagawa ako hehe.
I am so excited to try this recipe! My mother in law is Filipina, and though she’s taught me how to cook many things, there are a couple things she holds secret, like her son’s favorite, pork adobo. This longganisa recipe is one that will impress her the nest time she comes to visit, I’m sure of it!
im a big fun of longganisa…thanks for your lovely recipe…its perfect..
im very happy that i found ur site, im fond of cooking lol..but i want to ask sumtin cuz this was my first time to read such ingredient hehehe “soy paste” is it really a paste or its a “soy sauce” hehehe..im juz confused of this..well its ralle a “paste” ill try to look for it on the supermarket..anyways thaks for all the recipes ur sharing…
Soy paste — imported from China but available in Oriental food stores and some supermarkets.
thanks for sharing this recipe. i am getting homesick for filipino food…i’ll try this soon.i finally found a filipino online store in the netherlands selling soy paste! (chinese brand, so i hope they have their translation right!)
Have fun, Bix!

Paano po magluto ng longganisa?
sana naman mayroong tagalog..
hi connie! i tried this recipe of yours and ang sarap!!!! my husband and i loved it. but prob ko lang, bakit bumubuhaghag yung ginawa ko when freid? what do you think went wrong?
thanks.
Jane, it might be the texture of the ground meat. There’s coarse grind and there’s fine grind. Very finely ground meat is ideal. And when you shape the sausages, they have to be really, really compact.
Hi!
I just want to ask if where can i buy wax paper? i wanted to make a longganisa with your recipe
Supermarket, usually on the same shelf as aluminum foil. Look for baking wax paper of non-stick baking paper.
I tried this dish and it is so good! My husband is American and I thought he wouldn’t like it because he is so used to the frozen sausages you could buy from stores, but he absolutely loved this! He ate 6 pieces for dinner, and 8 pieces for breakfast the next day!
Ms. Connie, thank you for sharing your recipes. They are really a big help, especially for new housewives (like me) who knows not a lick about cooking. More power, and more delicious meals!
ginawa kuna then gumawa pa ulit ako,sarap talaga,ung mister ko di pinoy pero gustung-gusto,nagba-burp kami amoy bawang lahat,lol,ung anak ko panay sabi gawa pa daw ako,e kumakain pa lang ha?????kaya nagtataka ako dun sa comment nung isa,just wondering,hehehehe

God Bless and tnk u very much talaga
hi ms. connie happy holidays to u and ur family! i’ve been meaning to do this recipe of urs for a long time but I cannot find soy paste in the grocery, & then I saw in ur asian pantry section the kimlan chili soy paste is that what you used for this recipe? or is it ok to use kecap manis? Its what I have here, & then i saw (kimlan chili soy paste) just like that in ur pantry in makati supermarket and now I really want to do this for my kids they like skinless longganisa very much but I dont buy storebought longganisa anymore because it doesn’t suite my taste sometimes. Thank you for sharing your recipes! and God Bless!
Ria, either will work. The chili soy paste will give you spicy longganisa, Kecap Manis will result in something sweeter. You can even use them together.

hi ma’am connie,
yung mga recipes nyo saan nyo pa nabili yan? sa ordinary gorcery store po ba? how about sa palengke? such as SOY PASTE and unsweetened BREAD CRUMBS.regarding Rice vinegar, does any brand will do?
SAM
I don’t buy my recipes. I buy the ingredients.
Supermarket. I’m not particular about brands.
Thank you so much for the recipe… i tried it today… cant even wait for 2 hours, to put it in fridge… I cook/fry some of it and it was delicious……mmmmm…. i did add some sambal oelek (chili paste to make it a bit spicy) though.
Thanks once again.
Ms. Connie,
Is it okay not to put the soypaste on the longganisa, or what is/are the alternative for that? Thanks
I don’t know of any alternative. If you use liquid soy sauce, the mixture might turn soggy.
hi miss connie. i am from australia but i live in the suburbs. would love to try this longganisa recipe but i couldnt find any soy paste in the supermarket. can i possibly use hoisin sauce instead?
