Jerky From Around the World

Jerky is a household staple across pantries throughout the United States. Whether it is your bog standard beef jerky or some homemade deer jerky, this delicious and nutritious snack is a delicious and versatile treat. With so many different flavors and types of jerky strips available, why would this ingenious invention be enjoyed in one country only? Believe it or not, jerky is beloved throughout the world in one shape or another.

Beef Jerky - United States

No discussion of jerky would be complete without mentioning beef jerky. This type of jerky strips is probably the most well-known, and it is enjoyed by people all over the world. In the United States, beef jerky is typically made from lean cuts of meat that are trimmed and then cut into strips. The jerky strips are then marinated in a mixture of spices, herbs, and even booze before being dried or smoked. This drying process gives beef jerky its characteristic chewy texture that makes a jerky package hard to put down.

Pork Jerky - China

Pork jerky is popular in many Asian countries, especially China. It is made in a similar way to beef jerky, with lean cuts of pork being trimmed and cut into easy-to-eat jerky strips. The difference lies in the marinade; while beef jerky is typically seasoned with savory spices, pork jerky is usually sweetened with sugar or sweet alcohols and often has a sticky glaze applied before being dried or smoked.

Fish Jerky - Japan

Fish jerky is popular in Japan and other East Asian countries. It is made from fresh fish that has been deboned, filleted, and then cut into thin strips. The fish strips are then marinated overnight in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin (a type of Japanese cooking wine), and sugar before being dried or smoked. Much like that of another country a jerky package is readily available throughout Japan and is a commonly eaten snack within the country.
