During the Chinese New Year, every household would marinate cured meat and pack sausages. After the Chinese New Year, sausages are usually not finished, so I always keep some frozen in the refrigerator. During the Dragon Boat Festival, it is very delicious to take it out, add glutinous rice, red beans, and wrap Zongzi.
