In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork with salt, black pepper, sage, cayenne pepper, coriander, and MSG (if using). Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the ground pork.
Once the spices are well incorporated, shape the mixture into 8 small patties (about 2 ounces each) or leave it as loose sausage if you prefer to cook it crumbled.
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. If the pork is lean and doesnβt release much fat, add a small amount of oil to the pan.
Cook the sausage patties or crumbled sausage for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160Β°F (71Β°C).
Remove the sausage from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve as part of a hearty breakfast with eggs and toast, or use the sausage in other recipes like casseroles, breakfast burritos, or sandwiches.
