Homemade Pork Jerky(Bak Kwa/Yoke Gon/Long Yoke)

I know Chinese New Year is almost over in few day but I just make bak kwa or it's called as "long yoke" few days ago..I wonder why bak kwa called as "long yoke"? Isn't "long yoke" translated to Cantonese as deer meat? Pardon my ignorance.

When I was blog hopping during Chinese New Year, I saw many blogger make their own bak kwa themselves..At first I thought making bak kwa yourself at home is really hard and complex but after looking thoroughly all the recipe online,I don't think so. I would love to experiment it myself..This is my 1 st time making bak kwa at home and I found it's really easy and not complicated at all!! As we know Malaysia bak kwa selling in NYC is super expensive not to said the meat been sitting there for a while.So next time if you miss bak kwa,why not try to make yourself ..The only down side I have is to use my broiler to grill the final part of bak kwa.My new oven broiler is at the bottom of the oven which I can't see when it's grilling.That the reason why some of the bak kwa was burnt on the side.Maybe I should use my bbq pit to grill the meat but the weather outside is below 30F!! Anyway,who can beat and resist fresh homemade bak kwa ? Not me!!! I been chowing my homemade bak kwa with bread for breakfast daily..Yummy!!
