Loong yoke/Bak Kwa

Home made loong yoke waiting to be grilled. yum!

There are so many names that this super yummy snack goes by but I know it as loong yoke, bak kwa or that pork square. Really. This is similar to jerky but much, much better. It's asian jerky!! There's more flavour and it's nice and moist. Mmmm. They're so good in a sandwich or just alone.

I've heard many stories about the lengths people will go to get their paws on these little squares of porky goodness. I'll even admit to smuggling a couple of kgs worth back with me - an act that is helped along by the fact that they now come vacuum packed. But, they've gotten bloody expensive and after finding out how easy they are to make, I will now have smuggling space for other goodies :)
