Meat floss, also known as yuk sung or rousong (Chinese: 肉鬆; pinyin: ròusōng; Jyutping: juk6 sung1 ; Mandarin Chinese: [ɻôʊsʊ́ŋ]), is a dried meat product of Chinese origin, with a light and fluffy texture similar to coarse cotton. It is more commonly known as bak hu (Hokkien: 肉拊, Pe̍h-ōe-jī: bah-hú) in Hokkien-influenced regions, such as Southeast Asia and Taiwan. Meat floss is golden in color with a distinctive flavor and sweet taste that is somewhat comparable to beef jerky.
