1/ What is oyster floss?
For floss, each region will have a different names, if Northerners call it ruoc, most Southerners call it cha bong. You need to avoid confusing ruoc thit (cha bong) with mam ruoc (a type of ruoc made from fermented fish and shrimp, liquid, wet or slightly thick, popular in the Central region).
Basically, ruoc oyster is the same as ruoc thit, ruoc fish, shrimp… all are types of dry food. However, oyster floss is made from the main ingredient of oyster meat – a soft-bodied mollusk belonging to the bivalve crustacean family, related to clams, living in coastal reefs or estuaries…
It should also be noted that, because oysters are mollusks, they do not have long meat fibers. Therefore, to make oyster floss, manufacturers often mix pork floss and shrimp floss in a ratio of 20-30%. This blending helps the floss have a natural sweetness, reducing the fishy smell without using additives, preservatives or chemicals. To ensure good preservation time, after canning, oyster floss will be sterilized with boiling water at 121 degrees Celsius.
