4. Wash the Chinese sasuages. Steam over boiling water over high heat. When the sausages are cooked, take them out and cut into 1 inch pieces. Divide each piece lengthwise into two halves.
5. Drain the daikons then use each piece to wrap a piece of the sausage. Place one celery leaf on top, then tie tightly with a celery string.
6. Arrange on a serving tray. Serve with a beverage as an appetizer.
Secret tips::
For those who like hot taste, the daikon need not to be soaked in the vinegar solution. Squeeze the daikon with salt until softened, wash with water then wrap around the sausage. Soaking the daikon in vinegar solution adds flavor. Sourness is good with fatty food.
