Chinese Style Pork Jerky

Some of my Chinese friends were talking about homemade pork jerky.  The Chinese jerky is soft and juicy while American jerky is hard and dry!  Outside of using pork, you can find beef, chicken and boar jerky.  The best place to get Chinese jerky is from Macau.  I am challenging myself for some homemade jerky to comfort my homesick. Ingredients *1 pound ground pork  *4 tablespoon sugar *1 tablespoon honey + 1 tablespoon honey (for basting) *1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce *1 tablespoon rose cooking wine (optional, will taste different without) *1/3 teaspoon salt *pinch black pepper *pinch white pepper Directions 1) Put all the ingredients in a medium size bowl, except 1 tablespoon of honey for basting, stir them quickly for about 4-5 minutes.  Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. 2) Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.  Prepare basting sauce with mixing 1 tablespoon of honey with 1 teaspoon of warm water. 3) Place a piece of plastic wrap on the counter top, then put 1/3 of ground pork on the wrap, finally place another piece of plastic wrap on top of the pork. Roll the pork into 2mm thick.  Transfer the pork to a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes each side. Baste the pork with honey water. Increase heat of the oven to 350 degrees F, bake for 8 minutes each side. Cool down on rack. Cut into bite size.
