Stir Fried Snow Peas & Lap Cheong

"Lap Cheong" is basically made of pork that has been air-dried , never mind just google it for more info :D  . "Yun Cheong " ( my absolute fave ) , is made of duck liver & the "Lap Yuk" or air-dried pork , it  looks like a petrified :D bacon .  These are everywhere during winter . It's really versatile , you can add it as a topping to your claypot rice or " Lap Mei Fan " ( I usually know the Cantonese name or how to say it it Cantonese of some of my fave Chinese food hee hee ) . Add it to steamed radish or taro cake , as a filling to the steamed rice dumpling or just merely stir fry it with some veggies as I usually do . Buy the best you can afford . We love the one from Wing Wah , it's a little bit expensive , good thing I'm not the one's buying it heh ! , it's the best , in my own opinion ^-^ You can just slice it thinly , the sausages , and stir fry it right away - note that it's a tad hard to slice - but I usually do the boil and steamed thingie as it works for me besides I stir fried it for just few minutes that way my veggies wont be overcooked .
