C. Pretreatment of meat, fish and other foods:
1.
2.
3.
Lean meat (no fat): It is recommended to marinate the meat to
stay natural and tender before drying. The curing food should
have salt to help absorb water from the meat and keep it
fresh.
Curing standard:
1/2 cup of bean paste; 1 garlic, mashed; 2 tablespoons of brown
sugar; 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce; 1/2 cup of Worcester-
shire sauce; 1-1/4 teaspoon of salt; 1/2 teaspoon of onion
powder; 1/2 teaspoon of pepper; mix all the above ingredients.
Cut the meat into small cubes and put them into the product.
The drying time is approximately 2-8 hours until all the water
is evaporated.
Poultry meat:
All poultry meat must be cooked prior to drying. Steamed or
baked is the best way.
The drying time is approximately 2-8 hours until all the water
is evaporated.
Fish:
It is recommended to steam or bake before drying (bake at
200 degrees for 20 minutes) for about 2-8 hours until all the
water evaporates.
D. Vanilla, etc.:
Flush and dry the excess water, and remove the spoiled leaves.
Spread the loose vanilla over the rack.
The drying time depends on the size and type, and the drying
time is about 2-6 hours.
E. Bread, etc.:
Cut into small pieces, (no crust). Loosely spread out on the
rack; the drying time is about 30 minutes-2 hours.

F. Nut:
Remove the shell and rinse it with hot water. Spread it out on

and place them at normal room temperature; the drying time
is about 18-26 hours.
