- 4 cloves garlic minced

Chef Tips:
- A finely minced jalapeño pepper can replace the red curry paste. Mince the jalapeño pepper with the seeds if you want a spicy sausage.
- Ground fennel seed can be subsituted for the ground anise seed.
- Any soy sauce substitute can be used: liquid aminos or tamari.
- We have omitted kosher salt in this recipe since fish sauce and soy sauce tend to be on the salty side. Season with kosher salt to taste if you choose to.
