LAO SWEET JERKY

Round Bottom beef, sliced thin
Ground garlic and ginger
Salt and pepper
Sugar and msg
Oyster sauce
Sesame seeds

Have butcher slice beef into thin slices (as thin as sandwich meat). Ground garlic and ginger in a mortar. Marinate beef with the seasonings, adding plenty of sugar.

Lay flat on a netted hanger to dry in the sun (best time to prepare is in the middle of the summer). Dry for 1-2 days flipping over once to dry both sides. Make sure meat in completely dried to prevent mold. Can be stored for several weeks in the pantry, or months in freezer.
TIP: Can buy netted hanger at you local Lao store
