I Turned Meat Into Cotton Candy

  • While living overseas I got to experience my fair share of unique foods and meat cotton candy is one of them. Meat floss (肉鬆) is a savory snack that was a staple during my time there, and for the first time I tried cooking it for myself. Turns out turning meat into cotton candy isn’t easy, but it certainly was a fun one!

    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

      @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. 👌

    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🔥

    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?

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…
