I Turned Meat Into Cotton Candy

- While living overseas I got to experience my fair share of unique foods and meat cotton candy is one of them. Meat floss (肉鬆) is a savory snack that was a staple during my time there, and for the first time I tried cooking it for myself. Turns out turning meat into cotton candy isn’t easy, but it certainly was a fun one!

@@superweedenjoyer wtf?
hells kitchen ?
@@jumps1156hong kong
@@superweedenjoyer bro this is a cooking video. Yanks smh
"You're buying two breadmakers? You must make a lot of bread." "No, not really." Also, I could see Guga using this stuff to make a compound butter for a steak experiment.
He’d use it to make a delicious side dish
I have a bread maker
🤔🤔🤔
Same😂
Quick tip: Use pestle and mortar to pound the pork and the beef (after you've cooked them) until they turns into finely thin strips just like the chinese one. It's pretty hard and your arms gonna get tired but that way you'll have a more fluffy textures. This is a pretty traditional way to make it and us Vietnamese people eat it everyday with sandwich or sticky rice
ye i remembered my auntie made it that way
YES MY VIET BROTHER 🇻🇳
@@asianpotatoehead6296 not gonna hold you bro, I’m Cambodian lmao
Hey, fellow Vietnamese siblings
this is ''machaca'' a mexican dried beef, used normaly with scrambled eggs, diced potatoes etc. i never knew vietnamese people had something similar, glad to know!
Vietnamese here. My parents would take some sticky rice and sprinkle pork fu brand pork floss onto our breakfast and that shit was amazing. I've always wanted to make this so thank you Max for the video!
That sounds amazing
@mosambiqu3 The better version was when they deep fried the rice to make it crunchy and puffed and would add a sticky syrup made of sugar and fish sauce to coat the rice before the pork floss was put on top of it. 👌
@@Bloodshotistic wow… would love to try that
đây có phải là ruốc không ấy nhỉ
nhìn hơi giống
As a Thai, yes we Thai eat this too it’s sooo good.
Clicked on this video expecting a cool meat experiment like usual, but ended up unlocking a core memory of when my mom would bring this stuff home when I was a kid.
Thanks Max, and appreciate the content as always!
Us Mexicans also have this version of “Meat floss” but we call it Machaca and it’s made out of beef. Usually prepared with scrambled eggs, sautéed grilled veggies like tomato, onion, serrano peppers and can be eaten with flour or corn tortillas, served with refried beans and slices of fresh avocado ;)
Ay was about to say it's kinda like machaca
I was looking for this comment! I couldn’t remember the name.
Sounds pretty good.
That pork floss reminds me of that beef jerky that came in basically a dip can
Was looking for this comment. I love the dip jerky so I guess I’ll head to the Asian market today.
Bro I was just going to comment this bro I think this guy never had a childhood.😂😂😂
I knew this looked familiar. Forgot about the beef dip lol
Glad I found the comment I was sitting here thinking I just saw this stuff in the gas station
As an American I thought this was going to be disgusting, until I realized yeah it's basically just that jerky dip stuff you get in a can at a gas station lol.
After many times you talked about living in China, you finally pulled out the Mandarin! A fun video to watch since I love pork floss! Interested in trying out the salmon!
I know this is a really weird thing that most people won't pick up on, but I really appreciate the use of hard light to cast dramatic shadows in your videos
I grew up eating this stuff but I knew it as jerky chew. Like chewing tobacco... But made of shredded pork floss. It was good. Like eating jerky but without all the chewing.
So it’s not just me 😂
Max is the only crazy guy that turns meat into cotton candy 😂
"Boil filet mignon, roll out the meat, put the meat in the bread maker."
These are some of the least likely phrases I'd expect to hear when making food. Good job Max! 👏
Chicken floss is quite common in Vietnam too, mixed with some herbs and dried chilli it's amazing. Pork floss with sticky Rice is amazing.
In indonesia, we called this "abon", and use mix of brisket and rump to make it. It's commercialized
Love the frequent uploads
i would love to see you do another video where youve improved the salmon floss!
Im so proud on you Max, spoke like a real man at the superstore.
NEVER STOP UPLOADING I LOVE YOU
Tip (as a Chinese myself): always start with cold water when boiling meat to remove impurities. We don’t really boil fillets mignon that often though; often times it’s brisket, ribs, or chuck tender (yes), which can be extremely tender and flavorful if cooked properly🔥
Great tip thank you!
I'm chinese, and as a teenager living in shanghai, i go out with my friends a lot. every once in a while, we buy this and try it for the giggles. i gotta say, you made this on point.
Love these videos
Insane! Hope you get to 5M soon!
the dance max does in party time is so fireee😂
luv ur stuff bro wish i could cook like that 🔥
Can’t believe Max finally discovered the best addition to rice. 😂😂😂
Wish I would've watched your full videos sooner than just your shorts, your videos are entertaining either way.
Every video is truly intriguing idk how you do it max. 👍🏽
from a fellow loawai, u nailed it dude!
I couldn't believe it when you were done that it was so simple but got such amazing looking results. I'd love to try making the salmon one.
Max, NEVER STOP THE JAM
Love your vids, keep it up
Thank you!
at 9:21 I literally thought Max will say it is so wild how THIS was a living creature at one point XD
Pork Floss is amazing ❤
Hey Max! Great video!
How about you make a compound butter, Guga-style of the cotton candy you made here and you add it on top of some grilled steaks they way Guga does it? I think it would work really well!
They used to sell a beef version on the ice cream truck in my neighborhood. It was sold in cans that were identical to chewing tobacco(dip) cans. Between that and the bubblegum sticks shaped like cigarettes(that you could blow on and powdered sugar would come out to look like smoke), they definitely were NOT trying to get kids hooked on tobacco products…
Ur rocking man 🤯✌🏻
Haven't had pork floss since i was a kid. This is a nice trip down memory lane.
It looks like a nice topping for some dishes, but I don't remember the last time I've experienced such pain watching a cooking video lol
Literally the most interesting video you have posted in years
Would love to hear more about your time in China!!
Facinating video!!
Pork floss goes with nearly everything, especially with rice, it's something really commenly use when a person is sick and needs something tasty but remains rightly seasoned.
NileRed is really stepping it up
Max is used to the tie blindfold from pledgeship 😅😂
0:02 everything lol
That pork stuff reminds me of cans of what I can only describe as jerky chewing tobacco. It came in cans that looked like chewing tobacco, and was fluffy, super finely shredded jerky.
It’s literally 23:40 in HK and I need to do stuff tmr but I saw u upload and me be like “sleep is not important “
hi max, when I make beef floss (or as my friends and I call it, beef fiberglass or jerky dust/floss) i use some eye round and boul it in water with soy sauce and other seasonings, then when its soft, i put it in a mortar and pestle and mash it, then put it in a pan and add some of the liquid which I reduced along with sugar and salt and whatever else it needs. maybe you could try it like this one day?
I am not disappointed with the video, just the fact that he didn't figure out how to spin this onto a stick like real cotton candy.
Pork floss used to be my favorite food when I was a kid, haven't had it in so long
Thought this was a meat channel. All I'm getting is cheesy jokes. Great pairing. Great show! Thanks!
So for the beef version, when I was a kid I used to get this stuff that was a jerky chew. It came in a can like traditional tobacco snuff, but it's just beef jerky and looks a lot like the beef cotton candy you made.
I thought about that too!! I loved that stuff
We also speak English in HK so even if you don't speak Cantonese it's fine 😄
beef floss is my favorite food when i'm a kid, it's great when you eat it with scrambled egg or a plain white rice :D
I used to buy this stuff called Jerky Chew as a kid it looks very similar! Tasted just like beef jerky but was busted up like this. 👏
Yum, yet another interesting thing to be introduced too haha.
just had a flashback to having i think swordfish floss? thanks for unlocking the memory
肉松！love the vids man. I used to live in China too. Would love to see more Chinese inspired dishes. Maybe some 西北 lamb?
In the southern states of us where I'm from, you'll find this in the jerky section in a puck shaped can that was made to resemble tabaco dip cans
I've actually seen this kind of thing with Beef Jerky
If you ever go to a gas station you can usually find cans of what they call "Jerky Chew". They come in cans that look like chewing tobacco but it's just like the pork floss except it's beef jerky
I want to imagine gordon Ramsay's reaction to this. "You MASSACRED the filet, you fucking donut!!!"
was expecting a gimmicky video (which is fine, but not always my jam)... but this was actually just really interesting & informative. Bet it would go great w some arby's whiskey
I'm Vietnamese and I have to say I pretty love pork floss. I'm usually eat it with sticky rice as a breakfast. Love your recipes 🥰😁
The pork floss looks just like the beef jerky that comes in a round container like chewing tobacco. It was almost like shredded or powdery
But when you chew it the jerky comes.together like normal jerky
Pork floss with some rice pordige is such a good common struggle meal in Vietnam
I love your content Max. I was wondering what books do you recommend for grilling and dry aging?
we call this 'serunding' in Malaysia, and we have three types. beef, chicken and fish and we usually eat this with ketupat and lemang
I like to think that there's currently a group of chefs ordering a hit on this guy for what he does in this video.
Trust max to do that
It is funny you say that the texture reminds you of beef jerky, because you can get something very similar (at least in appearance) to what you made at gas stations in the jerky section. It comes in a little container that looks like a can of chewing tobacco, but it is looks almost identical to what you made, though i am assuming yours tastes better.
I’m going strait to Amazon.
I recoiled when max dropped the filets in the water
beef floss (or we called it "abon sapi") is very common in Indonesia, love it when you just don't know what to eat with your rice
bro's thinking outside of the universe i've never thought about this idea
That was fun and different!
The store bought stuff reminded me of this stuff I use to feed my turtle
everyone talking about the meat but those moves from max
You can also enjoy it in porridge
amazing content ... fresh new ideas - thank you
Make sardine cotton candy next.
I also like to see you have a steak battle with chef rush
In Nigerian after boiling the meat in spices, we pound it with motor and pestle. We then fry it to semi-crispy goodness with seasons.
Make a video on dry aged vs dry brine vs regular ribeyes
We had this “pork cotton candy” in Florida growing up. It was sold in little cans designed to replicate chewing tabacco.
Machacado: It’s like shredded and dried beef. This video reminded me of it haha. Not sure if you’ve had it but I think you would enjoy looking into it.
I like potatoes
Same
we have something similar in Indonesia, it's called "Abon". they make them from beef, and they usually taste kind of sweet.
I have no idea how they make em tho, but they look very similar
I (very) vaugely remembered eating something like this a few years back, and i've been trying to find what it was for months, and now it just appears in a random youtube video
also , i usually pound the protein after boiled it not rolling XD and after the thing is done i pound it again or put it in the blender so it more fluffy
The pork "cotton candy" is the same style that you get that beef jerky chew in the round containers
reminds me of the beef jerky that's in the dip cans
Bro’s really goin at it with that meat…
Awesome vid
Speaking chinese and my parents are from chengdu and xiamen, i can understand you perfectly
I already See Gordon's Reaction
As soon as I saw the pork floss I instantly thought of Jacklinks Jerky chew
I remember as a kid getting those little cans of jerky chew. ahhh good times
in my country, those meat cotton candy is called abon and most ppl didn't treat them like a snack. it's just something you could eat as a rice condiment lol
He should make a company selling this.
"This pork has been thru a lot"
surely one way to put it
