      @mosambiqu3 The better version was when they deep fried the rice to make it crunchy and puffed and would add a sticky syrup made of sugar and fish sauce to coat the rice before the pork floss was put on top of it. 👌

    Quick tip: Use pestle and mortar to pound the pork and the beef (after you've cooked them) until they turns into finely thin strips just like the chinese one. It's pretty hard and your arms gonna get tired but that way you'll have a more fluffy textures. This is a pretty traditional way to make it and us Vietnamese people eat it everyday with sandwich or sticky rice

    Us Mexicans also have this version of “Meat floss” but we call it Machaca and it’s made out of beef. Usually prepared with scrambled eggs, sautéed grilled veggies like tomato, onion, serrano peppers and can be eaten with flour or corn tortillas, served with refried beans and slices of fresh avocado ;)

    Tip (as a Chinese myself): always start with cold water when boiling meat to remove impurities. We don’t really boil fillets mignon that often though; often times it’s brisket, ribs, or chuck tender (yes), which can be extremely tender and flavorful if cooked properly🔥

    They used to sell a beef version on the ice cream truck in my neighborhood. It was sold in cans that were identical to chewing tobacco(dip) cans. Between that and the bubblegum sticks shaped like cigarettes(that you could blow on and powdered sugar would come out to look like smoke), they definitely were NOT trying to get kids hooked on tobacco products…

    The original čvarci are basically pork bits that are left over from cooking pork fat. I don’t really know why we call pork floss duvan čvarci because it’s totally a different thing from normal čvarci.

    It's interesting to me that the English translation is "meat floss" because the British English term for 'cotton candy' is 'candy floss' (NB: the term 'candy' is rarely used in British English, we tend to call what Americans call 'candy', 'sweets' or 'sweeties' instead).
    Sort of suggests that, either, this was first translated by someone more familiar with British than American English... or it was translated before Americans switched to calling it 'cotton candy'. Not sure.
