How to Make Homemade Pork Floss in a Bread Machine

Making fluffy, savory pork floss at home is easy with a bread machine—no tedious stirring required! Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide.

First, gather ingredients: 300g cooked pork (preferably shoulder, chopped), 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp five-spice powder, and 1 egg white (for binding). Optional: a pinch of white pepper or sesame oil for extra flavor.

Step 1: Place all ingredients into the bread machine’s pan. Select the "knead" function and let it run for 15–20 minutes until the pork becomes a fine, paste-like mixture. If the dough is too dry, add 1 tsp water; too wet, sprinkle a little flour.

Step 2: Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread it into a thin, even layer (about 0.5cm thick). Bake at 150°C (300°F) for 20–25 minutes until dry and slightly browned. Let it cool completely.

Step 3: Break the baked sheet into small pieces and blend in a food processor until fluffy. For finer floss, pulse briefly. Stir in 1 tsp melted butter (optional) for a richer taste.

Store in an airtight container; it lasts up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a topping for congee, toast, or straight from the jar! This hassle-free method guarantees fresh, flavorful pork floss every time.
