Prepare the Pork: Clean the pork tenderloin, drain off excess water, and cut it into medium-sized pieces to fit into a meat grinder. Start the meat grinder and grind the pork into a smooth, fine paste.
Marinate and Season: Transfer the ground pork to a large bowl. Add the sugar, salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, Shaoxing wine, chicken powder, and red yeast rice powder in order. Mix thoroughly with chopsticks or your hands, ensuring all the pork is evenly coated with the seasonings. Once the mixture is sticky, cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate for 1 hour. For best results, refrigerate overnight to allow the pork to fully absorb the flavors.
Roll the Pork into Thin Sheets: On a clean surface, lay a sheet of baking paper. Place a portion of the marinated pork paste onto the paper, then cover it with another sheet of baking paper. Flatten it with your palm, then roll it out with a rolling pin (keeping the baking paper in place) to an even thin layer, about 2-3 mm thick. Use a spatula to trim any uneven edges, shaping the pork into a uniform shape.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), usually taking 10-15 minutes.
Initial Baking: Carefully place the rolled pork (with the baking paper at the bottom) onto a wire rack, then place the rack into the preheated oven. Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes. During this time, you can observe the pork slowly changing color and slightly shrinking in size.
Brush with Honey Water: After 10 minutes, remove the rack from the oven (wearing oven mitts). Prepare a bowl of honey water (mix equal parts honey and water). Use a brush to evenly coat both sides of the pork with the honey water. By this point, the jerky will have firmed up, so feel free to flip it over to coat both sides. Be gentle while brushing to avoid distorting the shape.
Second Baking: After brushing the honey water, return the pork to the oven and bake at 180°C for an additional 7 minutes. At this point, the pork will begin to release its aroma, and its color will deepen.
Sprinkle Sesame Seeds and Final Baking: After 7 minutes, remove the rack again. Brush another layer of honey water on both sides of the pork, and evenly sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Place the pork back into the oven and bake at 180°C for another 5-8 minutes.
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pork from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. As it cools, the texture will become crispier and the flavor will improve. Once completely cooled, cut the pork into bite-sized pieces or strips, then plate and enjoy!
