The chilly air of early winter days and the drizzling rain did not make the grilled sausage and cartilage shop on the corner of the street I passed by less frequent customers. Every afternoon, when I came home from work and passed the grilled sausage and cartilage shop, my stomach would growl. The fragrant smell of grilled sausage filled the small corner of the street, the sizzling and crackling sound on the hot coals seemed to urge customers to come quickly.

Cartilage sausage, a dish that has not appeared long ago in Hanoi , but it is a dish that has conquered many diners from children to housewives, from manual workers to intellectuals. It is a dish on the family dinner table, can also be a delicious dish on the drinking table or a snack for students.

Grilled cartilage sausage is new even though it is made from two very familiar dishes: sausage and cartilage. The cartilage sausage is made from pork, pork cartilage ribs, peanuts, a little green beans, and herbs. The filling is slightly modified instead of the traditional fat and blood filling, bringing an interesting feeling when chewing. All of that filling is stuffed into the pig's small intestine and then grilled or fried. Dip the cartilage sausage into a bowl of delicately prepared dipping sauce, the thick dipping sauce eaten with some aromatic raw vegetables, delicious but not boring.

The chewy and crispy texture of the sausage skin blends with the filling that has the crunchiness of young cartilage, the sweetness of meat, the aroma of basil, the richness of peanuts, and the green beans. If you are a fan of grilled sausage, you cannot miss it, just smelling it makes your mouth water.

You will easily find a delicious grilled cartilage sausage restaurant thanks to the fragrant aroma. The plump round sausage is grilled over charcoal, crackling and sizzling as the fat drops fall onto the charcoal, combined with the seductive aroma that makes people stop to sniff and buy a plate to take home to enjoy.

The dish is not too difficult for housewives to prepare on the weekend to treat the whole family. All you need is young pig intestines, ground pork, pork cartilage, basil, onion, Vietnamese coriander, green onion, peanuts, a little green beans, pepper, spices, and mai que lo wine to have a delicious plate of cartilage sausage.

The important thing is the preparation method, the intestines must be washed clean and no longer have a foul smell, the ingredients must be chopped, mixed well and stuffed into the intestines, tied at both ends. If you want to grill it quickly, boil the intestines for about 5-7 minutes, let it cool and then grill or you can grill it right away.

Prepare a charcoal stove, place the sausage on it and grill. When grilling, do not let the charcoal fire get too big to help the sausage cook without burning, occasionally use a sharp toothpick to poke the sausage to let the steam escape, the sausage does not burst. When the sausage has a golden brown color and a fragrant aroma, you can enjoy it.

Hanoi not only has an attractive autumn but also many delicious dishes that attract visitors from far away and grilled cartilage sausage is one of them.
