Sausage casing | 2 meters | 2 m |
Black pepper | 1 teaspoon | 1 tsp |
Red pepper | 1 teaspoon | 1 tsp |
Turmeric | ½ teaspoon | ½ tsp |
Thyme | ½ teaspoon | ½ tsp |
Cardamom | ½ teaspoon | ½ tsp |
Cloves | ½ teaspoon | ½ tsp |

Use semi-frozen meat for best results. If using fresh chicken or beef, place it in the freezer until partially frozen. Then cut it into smaller pieces with a sharp knife.
Place the semi-frozen meat into a blender along with soy protein, powdered milk, white flour, ice water, egg, liquid oil, ketchup, garlic, and liquid smoke. Blend well until a smooth, uniform paste forms. Prepare the spices in the next step.
Make sure all spices are finely ground into powder. Combine black pepper, red pepper, turmeric, thyme, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, coriander powder, ginger powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cinnamon.
Sift the mixed spices through a fine sieve to ensure they are completely smooth and uniform. Add the sifted spices to the blender and pulse a few times until fully incorporated into the sausage mixture.
Remove the sausage paste from the blender and knead it by hand on a work surface for about 30 minutes until fully cohesive. After kneading, the mixture is ready for stuffing and cooking.
If your meat grinder has a sausage attachment, install it and feed the sausage mixture through it while placing the casing over the nozzle. If you do not have a sausage maker, transfer the mixture into a piping bag.
Insert the piping bag tip into the casing and fill it carefully. After filling, divide the sausages into desired lengths by tightly tying both ends of each section with kitchen string.
It is very important to prevent air from entering the casing. Remove any trapped air while filling. Especially when using a piping bag, fill one sausage length at a time, press gently to remove air, and tie securely before continuing.
Place the prepared sausages in an air fryer for 45 minutes until fully cooked. If you do not have an air fryer, put the sausages in a metal container, then place it inside a larger pot filled with boiling water. Cover the larger pot so the steam cooks the sausages.
After cooking, rinse the sausages under cold water to cool them down. Then refrigerate for 24 hours to rest. After resting, your homemade sausages are ready to use in various dishes.
Since homemade sausage contains no preservatives, it should be consumed as soon as possible. If properly packaged in airtight wrapping and stored in the refrigerator, it can last up to one week.
Enjoy your homemade sausages!
