That’s not the official name. It’s what I call it.
Let me back up.
The Korean supermarket I used to frequent closed to move to a new location (at least two months ago, if not more). They just opened at their new location (1010 North King Street, Honolulu, Hawaii).

Drove past the new location the other day and lo and behold, they were open. Yay!
Front Door
Much nicer and larger than their previous location.
Purchased a container of rousong (肉鬆).
Label
There are other names, but I call it pork dust. When I first tried it (many years ago), it was so dry, the texture was like dust.
Shredded Dried Pork with Sesame Seeds and Seaweed
I’ve gotten accustomed to the texture but it’s still pork dust to me. Hee hee.
Sam, over at Bonding Tool has a cold tofu and pork floss recipe you might find interesting. check it out.
Enjoy. Eat well.

Never heard it being called pork dust before but this used to be one of my favourite things to eat when I was growing up – it was always a treat because back then in Sydney it wasn’t always easy to get. We used to love it in a soft white buttered sandwich. Now in Singapore you can get sooo many versions of it – and they even make a “crispy” version so it’s almost like eating “chips” ? Hard to describe but yummy nonetheless 🙂
Thanks, “pork dust” is my description of it. When I first saw it, via The Cat, I thought they were dust bunnies from behind the sofa. Hee hee. 🙂
I need to venture out more with food. I had no idea such a thing existed. THANK YOU for the food adventures!!!
You had me at pork!
🙂
I love seaweed with or without meat… 🙂
It is great with buns/sandwich and some cream filling or with plain rice porridge too 😀
Have to try those. Thanks
