Cold rice 1.5 kg (1 bowl) Dried seaweed 60 gr Pork floss 300 gr Chopped green onion 1 stalk Common spices A little (seasoning/ pepper/ salt/ monosodium glutamate)
How to choose good pork floss
- You should choose pork floss that has a light yellow color from the cooked meat. Avoid buying pork floss that is dark yellow as it may contain artificial colors or chemicals.
- Real pork floss will be fluffy like cotton, with small strands that do not stick together. It should not be too chewy or too crumbly; it will dissolve gradually in your mouth.
- In contrast, fake pork floss made from cassava residue will become chewier the more you chew, and it may not break down even after a long time; the strands will be thick and sticky, not fluffy.
- Additionally, to ensure health safety and peace of mind while preparing, you can make pork floss at home.
You can buy pork floss at Bách Hóa XANH stores nationwide or on the e-commerce site bachhoaxanh.com with various types of pork floss that are diverse, safe, and delicious. In addition, you can make various types of pork floss from pork, chicken, etc., at home following the instructions from Tastetutorial.com.
