Cut meat into 1.5 by quarter by 13 cm strips.

Soak meat in a mixture of soy sauce, 1 T. brown sugar and 1 T. oil for 2 to4 hours.

Pat dry.

Mix seasonings well and place in a clean shaker. (Ed. note: why notspecify a dirty shaker? Might make it more authentic!)

Using a foil-covered cookie sheet, place meat (1 layer) and sprinkle mixover it to taste.

Fold foil edges up to keep in mixture.

Dry at 140 to 80ÂșC or 5 to 8 hours.

Keep in open container at room temperature. Do NOT refrigerate.
