So I bought some Longanisa,

At a new Asain market I came across Longanisa fresh in their meat case.
I bought some but I really don't know what to do with it.... Seems it's usually served for breakfast with rice? What kind of rice?
Thanks!

I've served with with eggs. The sweetness of the sausage goes well with the breakfast theme -- kind of like the whole American pork sausage with maple syrup and egg thing.

I cook it in the oven and then slice up and let people eat with steamed scallion buns and a tangy slaw. We tear off some bun and use it to wrap the sausage and slaw. Just went to take a pack out of the freezer. Thanks for the reminder.

Can you describe these steamed scallion buns? Are they something you make? They sound delicious.

[Miss Needle]

I believe they are those mantou you made for the Momofuku pork bun recipe except that there are bits of chopped scallions throughout. I've seen it sold ready made in Asian markets. They look something like this (not necessarily in that shape):

That was my suspicion, and I love the idea of adding chopped scallions throughout. Thanks.

I serve it for breakfast alongside fried rice (made with leftover scented jasmine rice, minced garlic, chopped onions and tomatoes, ground pepper and Maggi sauce) and eggscooked with lots of onions and garlic. Yum.
