6. Grilled Goose Sausage
If you are used to grilled sausages made from pork or beef, then the grilled goose sausage will surprise you with its sweet and savory flavors, offering a delightful twist with this unique meat.
Ingredients:
- 500g goose meat
- 1 shallot (or 2 small onions), 3 garlic cloves, 1 stalk of lemongrass
- 2-3 tablespoons of caramel sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce
- Sugar, ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- Black pepper, sesame seeds
- Skewers (for oven grilling), bamboo skewers (for charcoal grilling)
Instructions:
- Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- First, wash the bamboo skewers and boil them in hot water. If you're grilling with charcoal, soak the skewers in cold water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning while grilling.
- Next, clean the goose meat, let it drain, and slice it into thin, bite-sized pieces.
- Smash and finely chop the shallot, garlic, and lemongrass.
- Step 2: Marinate the Meat
- For the best flavor, marinate the goose meat well. Use a combination of fish sauce, caramel sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, sesame oil, black pepper, and sesame seeds. Let it sit for about 2 hours to absorb all the flavors.
- Step 3: Skewer the Meat
- Once marinated, thread the meat onto the bamboo skewers. Place smaller pieces inside and larger pieces on the outside. After assembling, gently shape the skewers to make the sausages more even.
- A key tip: Avoid skewering meat too thickly. If the skewers are too thick, the meat will cook unevenly, with the outside burning before the inside cooks.
- Step 4: Grill the Meat
- The best way to enjoy this dish is by grilling the skewers over charcoal. The meat will cook evenly and taste amazing. If you don't have a charcoal grill, you can bake the skewers in an oven at 200°C (392°F) for 30-35 minutes. Be sure to turn the skewers halfway through for even cooking.

12. Goose Neck Sausage
Next on the list is the Goose Neck Sausage, a rich, flavorful dish with a very distinct taste that will surely have the whole family praising it.
Ingredients:
- 2 goose neck skins (approximately the length of an adult's forearm)
- 100g minced lean meat (or you can use goose meat itself)
- 100g of fresh pork sausage
- 150ml of goose blood
- A handful of Vietnamese coriander
- Some spring onions
- A bunch of Thai basil
- 50g roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons of monosodium glutamate (MSG)
- 50ml of water
- 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning powder
Instructions:
- Step 1: Clean the herbs (spring onions, Vietnamese coriander, and Thai basil), then chop them finely. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced meat, sausage, 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning powder, and chopped herbs. Mix thoroughly using gloves.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix water, MSG, and goose blood together. Stir for about 5 minutes until the blood thickens. Then, add this mixture to the meat and herb mixture and combine well.
- Step 3: Tie one end of the goose neck skin tightly with string. Stuff the mixture into the skin, ensuring that the meat and blood are packed tightly to avoid the sausage becoming loose during cooking.
- Step 4: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then carefully drop the stuffed sausage into the water and cook for 30 minutes. Goose neck sausages are more resistant to bursting compared to pork or dog intestine sausages. However, to ensure safety, occasionally open the lid and poke the sausage with a pin or sharp object to relieve any internal pressure, helping it cook faster.
- Step 5: After boiling, soak the sausage in cold water to clean it and speed up the cooling process. Once cooled, remove the sausage and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
