Add all the ingredients (except your frying oil of choice) in a large bowl. Mix together until well combined. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge overnight.
Prepare the longganisa links by scooping 3 tablespoons worth of mixture and rolling it into an even sized log that is 3 inches long. Repeat.
Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook the longganisa in 2 - 3 batches to avoid overcrowding and use about 1- 2 tbsp of oil for each batch.
Once the oil is hot, add the longganisa and pan fry each side for 4 - 5 minutes.
It will start to caramelize so reduce heat to medium.
Continue to cook the longganisa by rolling it around the pan for a few more minutes until it is golden brown on all sides and cooked through.
Serve hot with cauliflower rice (or white rice!) and a fried egg.
Recipe Notes
The date sugar or coconut sugar is what gives this dish that caramelized finish. If you prefer, you can omit the sugar without affecting the flavor.
