Assembling the sausages
- Grab a large dinner plate and a sheet of rice paper, rinse the rice paper with warm water on both sides to soften.
- Lay the rice paper on the large dinner plate, add about a 1/2 cup of sausage filling to the middle.
- Roll the rice paper into a cylinder shade, then twist the ends to close.
- Or roll the rice paper as you would a burrito, tucking in the sides as your roll.
- Place the rolled sausage onto the oiled parchment paper and roll it in the oil to cover it completely.
- Continue rolling the sausages until the filling is gone.
- Place the prepared sausages into the oven for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven to flip the sausages.
- Return to the oven for about 10 minutes or until they are a golden brown.
- After the sausages have become a golden brown, remove from the oven.
- Serve hot and Enjoy!
Notes
These sausages can be made ahead of time and frozen for later.
You don't have to roll this into sausages, omit the rice paper and use the filling in a recipe as a crumble.
Or you can enjoy the filling on a piece of buttered toast topped with ketchup and mustard.
