"You're buying two breadmakers? You must make a lot of bread." "No, not really." Also, I could see Guga using this stuff to make a compound butter for a steak experiment.
Vietnamese here. My parents would take some sticky rice and sprinkle pork fu brand pork floss onto our breakfast and that shit was amazing. I've always wanted to make this so thank you Max for the video!
@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
this is ''machaca'' a mexican dried beef, used normaly with scrambled eggs, diced potatoes etc. i never knew vietnamese people had something similar, glad to know!
Clicked on this video expecting a cool meat experiment like usual, but ended up unlocking a core memory of when my mom would bring this stuff home when I was a kid. Thanks Max, and appreciate the content as always!
After many times you talked about living in China, you finally pulled out the Mandarin! A fun video to watch since I love pork floss! Interested in trying out the salmon!
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 ;)
As an American I thought this was going to be disgusting, until I realized yeah it's basically just that jerky dip stuff you get in a can at a gas station lol.
I know this is a really weird thing that most people won't pick up on, but I really appreciate the use of hard light to cast dramatic shadows in your videos
I grew up eating this stuff but I knew it as jerky chew. Like chewing tobacco... But made of shredded pork floss. It was good. Like eating jerky but without all the chewing.
"Boil filet mignon, roll out the meat, put the meat in the bread maker." These are some of the least likely phrases I'd expect to hear when making food. Good job Max! 👏
I'm chinese, and as a teenager living in shanghai, i go out with my friends a lot. every once in a while, we buy this and try it for the giggles. i gotta say, you made this on point.
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…
hi max, when I make beef floss (or as my friends and I call it, beef fiberglass or jerky dust/floss) i use some eye round and boul it in water with soy sauce and other seasonings, then when its soft, i put it in a mortar and pestle and mash it, then put it in a pan and add some of the liquid which I reduced along with sugar and salt and whatever else it needs. maybe you could try it like this one day?
We also have this dish in Serbia 🇷🇸! It’s called “duvan čvarci”. Duvan=tobacco, čvarci=floss. 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.
Pork floss goes with nearly everything, especially with rice, it's something really commenly use when a person is sick and needs something tasty but remains rightly seasoned.
So for the beef version, when I was a kid I used to get this stuff that was a jerky chew. It came in a can like traditional tobacco snuff, but it's just beef jerky and looks a lot like the beef cotton candy you made.
we have something similar in Indonesia, it's called "Abon". they make them from beef, and they usually taste kind of sweet. I have no idea how they make em tho, but they look very similar
The pork floss looks just like the beef jerky that comes in a round container like chewing tobacco. It was almost like shredded or powdery But when you chew it the jerky comes.together like normal jerky
in my country, those meat cotton candy is called abon and most ppl didn't treat them like a snack. it's just something you could eat as a rice condiment lol
MAX!!! International follower here from nigeria, we have something similar called Dambun nama, I would love it if you tried the NIGERIAN MEET although it might offend you given most Nigerian meet is well done . PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON EITHER AFRICA STYLES OF COOKING MEET OR NIGERIA
in the UK they call cotton candy, candy floss... Hong Kong was a british nation until 1997, so pork floss is to candy floss as pork cotton candy is to cotton candy
also , i usually pound the protein after boiled it not rolling XD and after the thing is done i pound it again or put it in the blender so it more fluffy
I've actually seen this kind of thing with Beef Jerky If you ever go to a gas station you can usually find cans of what they call "Jerky Chew". They come in cans that look like chewing tobacco but it's just like the pork floss except it's beef jerky
That pork stuff reminds me of cans of what I can only describe as jerky chewing tobacco. It came in cans that looked like chewing tobacco, and was fluffy, super finely shredded jerky.
was expecting a gimmicky video (which is fine, but not always my jam)... but this was actually just really interesting & informative. Bet it would go great w some arby's whiskey
Hey Max! Great video! How about you make a compound butter, Guga-style of the cotton candy you made here and you add it on top of some grilled steaks they way Guga does it? I think it would work really well!
It is funny you say that the texture reminds you of beef jerky, because you can get something very similar (at least in appearance) to what you made at gas stations in the jerky section. It comes in a little container that looks like a can of chewing tobacco, but it is looks almost identical to what you made, though i am assuming yours tastes better.
I (very) vaugely remembered eating something like this a few years back, and i've been trying to find what it was for months, and now it just appears in a random youtube video
Hi, Indonesian here. Due to the large Muslim population, most of what we have is beef floss (but I've had venison floos too). Also, you can totally match the the texture with beef. No worries.
Maybe I took a puff to much of your smoking device, but I thought all the time that you are actually trying to make real cotton candy with it haha You should try to infuse meat into cotton candy in one of your next videos.
In Nigeria it's a traditional dish unique to our tribe the hausa we just basically cook the meat add ghost peppers some salt season it then use mortar and pestle to pound it then put our pot on fire add a little bit of oil and stir fry it the once it turns to Golden brown it's ready we do the same to fish goat cow chicken and all meats the taste is mind blowing
They all look more like jerky "chew". The stuff you can get of beef jerky that is in a chew-like container with the same look and texture as the meat floss Max bought. Used to get it every so often as a kid, because it wasn't sold everywhere, mostly convenience stores like 7Eleven
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.
This is a really interesting beef recipe. I don’t really have any of those Chinese spices at home so I just simmered the tenderloin for an hour in plain water. Delicious!
WOW! Max! Surprised by your Chinese😮😮😮 Hope you can visit Taiwan someday, I could show you the restaurant I work for And maybe also how they made all the floss With the language level, you can survive easily 😂😂😂
I'm from HK and I can't say how impressed I was by his Mandarin

I was looking for this comment! I couldn’t remember the name.
Sounds pretty good.
That pork floss reminds me of that beef jerky that came in basically a dip can
Was looking for this comment. I love the dip jerky so I guess I’ll head to the Asian market today.
Bro I was just going to comment this bro I think this guy never had a childhood.😂😂😂
I knew this looked familiar. Forgot about the beef dip lol
Glad I found the comment I was sitting here thinking I just saw this stuff in the gas station

Chicken floss is quite common in Vietnam too, mixed with some herbs and dried chilli it's amazing. Pork floss with sticky Rice is amazing.

weeeell nilered bight but he'd do some... different meat cotton candy
In indonesia, we called this "abon", and use mix of brisket and rump to make it. It's commercialized
Would love to hear more about your time in China!!

I am not disappointed with the video, just the fact that he didn't figure out how to spin this onto a stick like real cotton candy.
Haven't had pork floss since i was a kid. This is a nice trip down memory lane.
from a fellow loawai, u nailed it dude!
I want to imagine gordon Ramsay's reaction to this. "You MASSACRED the filet, you fucking donut!!!"
Pork floss goes with nearly everything, especially with rice, it's something really commenly use when a person is sick and needs something tasty but remains rightly seasoned.
Max is used to the tie blindfold from pledgeship 😅😂
In the southern states of us where I'm from, you'll find this in the jerky section in a puck shaped can that was made to resemble tabaco dip cans
NileRed is really stepping it up
So for the beef version, when I was a kid I used to get this stuff that was a jerky chew. It came in a can like traditional tobacco snuff, but it's just beef jerky and looks a lot like the beef cotton candy you made.

Boiling meat (usually for a 10-20 seconds) is usually to get rid of the excess moisture in the meat. That's how you prepare the meat for stew.
beef floss (or we called it "abon sapi") is very common in Indonesia, love it when you just don't know what to eat with your rice
Insane! Hope you get to 5M soon!
Wish I would've watched your full videos sooner than just your shorts, your videos are entertaining either way.
Pork floss used to be my favorite food when I was a kid, haven't had it in so long

Thought this was a meat channel. All I'm getting is cheesy jokes. Great pairing. Great show! Thanks!
In Nigerian after boiling the meat in spices, we pound it with motor and pestle. We then fry it to semi-crispy goodness with seasons.
bro's thinking outside of the universe i've never thought about this idea
beef floss is my favorite food when i'm a kid, it's great when you eat it with scrambled egg or a plain white rice :D

"I turned wagyu into a cow again"
Pork floss with some rice pordige is such a good common struggle meal in Vietnam
you can get the beef floss in the US at gas stations beef jerky companies make them and put them in tins like chewing tobacco
also , i usually pound the protein after boiled it not rolling XD and after the thing is done i pound it again or put it in the blender so it more fluffy
also, video idea: maybe try to turn meat into a dessert? could be very interesting to watch
like some kind of steak cake or maybe a beefcake

i feel like you would have better results using tougher more fibrous cuts of meat like the short rib

"This pork has been thru a lot"
surely one way to put it

Hope you can visit Taiwan someday, I could show you the restaurant I work for

reminds me of the beef jerky that's in the dip cans
Fish or beef floss is common here in indonesia, we usually eat it rice or sweet bread.
