Singaporean or Chinese style pork jerky

Yes! I believe they are close! I hope to recreate something similar to this style. When travelling in Asia, I’ve tried to bring some home. But recently I read the custom regulations and realised that dried meat is forbidden except from Europe. But I have always succeeded to smuggle them!

Do you think they use slices of meat or minced meat? I looked for online jerky recipes, and they all used minced meat. The texture I’ve tried doesn’t seem to come from minced meat, or they are really compressed.

@klyeoh mentioned the nº1 in Singapore: Lam Chi Guan
I read that they have a smoke taste, they are available only in Singapore, it seems.

The one I’ve tried, Bee Cheung Hiang, it was very good too.
