Cooking StepsHow to cook Homemade Pork Jerky step by step

Step 1 Detail

Take 550g ground pork and add 30g sugar, 4g salt, 20g oyster sauce, 10g cooking wine, 6g light soy sauce, 6g dark soy sauce, 2g chili powder, and 1g white pepper.
Step 2 Detail

Put on gloves and mix everything thoroughly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 3 Detail

While the meat chills, make the honey glaze: mix 20g honey with 10g water and stir until dissolved. Set aside.
Step 4 Detail

Divide the meat mixture into 3 portions — this 550g batch will make 3 sheets. Place a sheet of parchment paper cut into a square underneath. A square shape reduces waste and looks neater.
Step 5 Detail

Cover with another sheet of parchment paper on top. Use a rolling pin to gently roll out the meat — don’t press too hard. Each sheet should be about 0.5 cm thick.
Step 6 Detail

Roll each sheet to roughly the size of your baking pan, keeping the thickness under 0.5 cm.
Step 7 Detail

Place on a baking pan and peel off the top layer of parchment. Bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F), top and bottom heat, for 10 minutes first. The meat will release a lot of liquid and shrink, becoming firmer.
Step 8 Detail

After 10 minutes, remove and brush both sides with the honey glaze. Transfer from the baking pan to a wire rack and continue baking for another 5 minutes.
Step 9 Detail

After 5 minutes, remove again. Brush both sides with honey glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and return to the oven for another 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on it during this final stretch to avoid burning — every oven behaves differently. Adjust time as needed: add more if you want deeper color, or pull it early if it looks good.
Step 10 Detail

When done, remove, slice, and serve. The whole process takes about 20 minutes. It may not have the bright red color of store-bought versions (no red yeast rice powder here), but the flavor is irresistible.
Step 11 Detail

That’s one sheet’s worth — pretty satisfying! Now on to the next one.
