'''Pork Floss''' (Simplified Chinese: 肉松; Traditional Chinese: 肉鬆; Pinyin: ''Ròu sōng''; also '''Rou Song''', meat floss, or yuk sung) is a dried, seasoned, finely shredded pork product with a light, woolly texture used as a condiment, sandwich and bun filling, and topping for porridge or [[Cifantuan]]. It is made by braising pork with soy, sugar, and spices, then pounding or machine-shredding and dry-frying until fluffy. It is '''not''' pork jerky strips, '''not''' [[Lap Cheong]] sausage, and '''not''' plain ground pork.<ref name="wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_floss English Wikipedia]</ref>

== Characteristics ==

Appearance is light brown, fluffy, and fibrous; flavor is sweet-savory with soy aroma. Sold in jars or used as bakery filling (肉松面包).

== Ingredients (overview) ==

Pork (lean cuts common), soy sauce, sugar, oil, spices; long cook then shred-dry process. Distinct from cured [[Lap Cheong]] and from [[Char Siu]].

== History and culture ==

Fujian and Jiangnan food industries popularized packaged meat floss; bakeries and breakfast rolls spread it nationwide and across overseas Chinese communities. English labels say "pork floss" or "meat floss." Soft origin anecdotes naming a single inventor are commercial folklore. See [[Fujian Food]] and [[Cifantuan]].

== Serving and variations ==

Spread on mantou or bread, stirred into congee, rolled into cifantuan, or eaten as a snack topping. See [[Cifantuan]], [[Mantou]], and [[Fujian Food]].
