How to Make Skinless Longganisa

Two plates of rice with eggs Filipino Longanisa and eggs cooked.

Join me in learning how to make Skinless Longganisa. Longganisa is a Filipino word which means Sausage. This dish is one of my faves for breakfast, especially with fried rice and eggs. I made a minor change with the recipe because I had limited ingredients at the time I made it. The savory and sweetness of this recipe is spot on. I cut down the amount of sugar to make it less sweet but this is just optional. Adjust the sugar amount to your liking.
