do you mean natural as in dried vs. nondried? California brand #1 has pork and #2 has both pork and chicken. These are nondried and can be found at alot of deli's and groceries in Little Saigon and SGV. We just used them to make xoi man, sticky rice w/ chinese sausage, shrimp and chicken. It tastes good and better then the kam Yen jan brand.

How about California Sausage?
12821 Harbor Blvd., just north of Garden Grove Blvd., behind Lee's.No idea if it's "natural".

Most Chinese poultry places in LA seem to make their own lop cheong (if you can still find one). The problem is that they are closing up one by one. United and Canton Poultries are a couple that come to mind within the past few years. Even fresh dried salted duck are hard to find. I guess the best you can find now is the pre-packaged Kam Yen Jan brand found in most Chinese grocery stores? The "old-school" fresh dried lop cheong hanging on a string behind the counter is a thing of the past nowadays.

Never heard of anyone asking for "natural" Chinese sausage.
Unless they sell it at Whole Foods, I don't know if it exists. It's one of those products that's so good you don't want to know what's in it. For some reason a lot of packaged lap cheong comes from Canada and I see it at places like the Alhambra Costco and it isn't refrigerated, so who knows what's in it.
I think and someone will confirm or deny that Lucky Deli in LA Chinatown makes their own lap cheong, I see it hanging on the walls to dry. You might inquire there what they put in it.
