Five-Flavor Jerky evolved from Plain Jerky. Compared to early jerky, it uses more types of spices and more complex processes, breaking new ground in flavor and texture. Essential Techniques for the Welfare of the People records: "Boil fermented beans in bone broth until the color and flavor are right, then strain the residue. When cool, add salt and finely chopped white scallion, pound until smooth; grind pepper, ginger, and orange peel into powder to soak the meat, rubbing it in thoroughly. Slices are ready after three nights; strips must be tasted to ensure the flavor has penetrated before being removed."
