Bakkwafina

Bak kwa (Chinese bbq pork jerky) is a must-have every Lunar New Year and I’m glad we’re seeing more plant-based options as the years go by. Wasn’t too impressed by the mushy texture when I first tried this at room temperature but the taste changed completely after popping them in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes. The sweet smokey taste was much more apparent and texture became less mushy. Pretty close to the real deal I’d say but the name definitely scored more points in my book! #punbasedlife

Hands down the best vegan Bak Kwa I’ve ever had. The texture is so close to the real deal. Hope they keep making it every year. 😊

Tried Love Handle’s bakwafina thanks to @emdothe77 😚 Texture not quite as chewy as original bakwa but pretty damn good taste and seasoning! 💥💥 #veganbakwa #lunarnewyear

Bakkwa is a Chinese salty-sweet jerky eaten mostly during Chinese New Year. This vegan version made from Impossible Pork tastes very similar to the real thing. I haven’t eaten bakkwa for years now, so eating this blows my mind. The texture is really good, but can be improved. Better with more charred sides. Taste is amazing. Sweet, savoury, and chewy.
