Ingredients for Seaweed Rice Crackers with Pork Floss For 3 servings
Leftover rice 1.5 kg (1 bowl) Dried seaweed 60 gr Pork floss 300 gr Chopped green onion 1 stalk Common seasoning 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 cooked meat. Avoid buying pork floss that is dark yellow as it may contain artificial coloring 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, and will dissolve in your mouth.
- In contrast, fake pork floss made from cassava residue will become tougher the more you chew, and may not crumble easily; it will have large strands that stick together and are not fluffy.
- Additionally, to ensure health safety and peace of mind during cooking, you can make pork floss at home.
You can buy pork floss at Bách Hoá XANH stores nationwide or on the e-commerce website bachhoaxanh.com with various types of pork floss that are diverse, safe, and delicious. Additionally, you can make various types of pork floss from pork, chicken,… at home following the instructions from TasteVN.
