Dried Shredded Pork 3.1 oz

Rousong also known as meat wool, meat floss, pork floss, flossy pork, abon, pork sung or yuk sung, is a dried meat product with a light and fluffy texture similar to coarse cotton, originating from China. Rousong is used as a topping for many foods, such as congee, tofu, and savory soy milk. It is also used as filling for various buns and pastries, and as a snack food on its own. Rousong is a very popular food item in Chinese cuisine. Rousong is made by stewing cuts of pork in a sweetened soy sauce mixture until individual muscle fibers can be easily torn apart with a fork. This happens when the water-insoluble collagen that holds the muscle fibers of the meat together has been converted into water-soluble gelatin. The meat is teased apart, strained, and partially dried in the oven. It is then mashed and beaten while being dry-cooked in a large wok until it is nearly completely dry. Additional flavorings are usually added while the mixture is being dry-fried. Five kilograms of meat will usually yield about one kilogram of floss.
