Meat floss- How to make rousong / 肉松 (Chinese-style pork floss)

Meat floss, or Rousong (肉松), is a beloved Chinese snack with a fluffy texture. To prepare it, lean pork, chicken, or beef is slowly simmered until tender, shredded into fine pieces, and dried in a wok over low heat until it becomes fluffy, dry, and cottony.
Chinese-style meat floss is seasoned with soy sauce, sugar, and spices such as cinnamon and star anise. It is a snack used as a topping for buns, tofu, or congee. Various methods and seasonings can be used to make meat floss. In this recipe, I'll share my interpretation and preference for making meat floss with pork, mainly seasoned with basic Cantonese ingredients such as soy sauce and sugar.

Ingredients:
500ml water
5 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
60g sugar
1.5 tsp salt
900g pork tenderloin
Method:
Bring enough water to a boil to submerge all the pork pieces.
Add the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and salt to the water.
Add the star anise and cinnamon stick.
Cut the pork loin into 1-2 inches pieces, and simmer with the liquid.
Remove the star anise and the cinnamon stick from the pork.
Break up the pork into smaller pieces by using a wooden spatula. This step helps shorten the time until the pork is soft and tender.
Once the pork is tender and easily breakable, cook until the liquid evaporates. Remove and cool.
Transfer the pork into a plastic bag and bash it with a wooden roller to brakes up the meat further.
Place the broken meat pieces in a large skillet or wok.
Heat the pork until dry and fragrant over low temperature. You must keep stirring it continuously to ensure it will not burn at the bottom.
When it is completely dry, remove it to let it cools.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Note:
950g of lean meat yields 450g of meat floss.
