Skinless Chicken Longanisa

Ingredients
1kg minced chicken fillet (breast)
half cup brown sugar
125ml ketchup
4 tbsp light soy sauce
1 Tbsp grated garlic
1 Tsp salt (or adjust according to your taste)
1 tsp ground black pepper
3tbsp cornstarch
wax paper

Procedure:
  1. Using a deep dish, mix all ingredients (excluding wax paper). Refrigerate the mixture for 2 hours.
  2. Cut wax paper by cutting it in 6 inches length. Scoop some chicken mixture using a spoon and place on the wax paper. Spread evenly and roll. Do the same with the remaining mixture.
  3. Place the rolled longanisa in the freezer for an hour. That will make it easier for you to cut it into 3 inches. Arrange them in a container that can be kept in the freezer. Cover a whole row of sausages with plastic wrap. Seal the airtight container and freeze. This keeps well for up to 3 months (our supply gets cooked and eaten long before that, though).
  4. To cook: Thaw the frozen sausages . In a medium skillet, over medium high heat, add some canola oil. Then add the sausages. Continue frying till nicely browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Keep turning the sausages because they cook quickly.
