A celebrated dry-cured ham from Xuanwei in Yunnan, salted and aged for months until firm and deep red with creamy fat. The flavor is intensely savory and salty with a mature, faintly funky depth; it is sliced thin and used as a seasoning meat rather than eaten raw.
Where it comes from
One of China's three great hams, dry-cured in the cool highlands of Xuanwei, Yunnan.
In the kitchen
Sliced and steamed, stir-fried, or simmered to lend deep salty umami to dishes and stocks.
