Instructions

Add the minced Chinese sausage to a pan and cook over medium heat until it is seared on all sides (1-2 minutes). Empty onto a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. The paper towel will soak up the excess fat.
Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Grate the frozen butter with a boxed grater and add it to the bowl. Combine the flour and butter using 2 forks until the butter is pea sized.
Add the buttermilk, minced Chinese sausage, and green onions. Mix until the mixture starts to form large clumps.
Pour the mixture onto a floured surface. Bring it all together and pat it down until it is a 3/4 inch thick rectangle. Fold one side to the center and then the other side to the center. Turn the dough 90 degrees. Gently flatten it and repeat the folding process. Turn the dough 90 degrees. Gently flatten the dough again and repeat the folding process a last time.
After the last fold, flatten the dough into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle. Using a 2 inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet touching each other. Make sure to flour the biscuit cutter to prevent the biscuits from sticking to it. If you have extra pieces, bring them together and cut out more biscuits until you run out of dough.
Let them cool in the fridge for 20 minutes. This helps prevent spreading.
Move the oven rack to the top third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C).
Brush the tops with melted butter or buttermilk.
Bake the biscuits for 15-20 minutes until light brown on top.
Cool biscuits for 5 minutes before serving.
