Pork floss & Chili paste on Toast

This may be quick and delicious but it is not very healthy - Pork Floss is highly processed so make sure not to make it a habit, the same goes for most white bread so always compensate by eating fruits and other healthy foods to make up for indulging in quick carbs and fast-food.

Pork floss aka ròusõng, rousong, pork sung, yuk sung, meat wool, meat floss and abon is a dried meat product created by cooking pork shoulder in soy sauce and sugar, and then shredding it until it takes on a fine texture. Other flavorings like garlic, onion and oyster sauce are sometimes added while the mixture is being dry fried.

It takes five pounds of lean pork to produce one pound of Pork Floss so store bought is far more practical and less expensive than making it yourself.

Please note that you need Thai Chili paste for this toast - NOT Thai curry paste.

Various brands of Pork Floss are available in your local Asian store

You can put this on any bread or Toast
