Instructions: Chinese ham has a rich salty flavour and is used primarily as a garnish or seasoning to flavour soups sauces stirfried dishes noodles and rice. One of the most prized Chinese smoked hams comes from Zhejiang Province. Unfortunately Chinese hams are not available in this country but a good substitute is either Parma ham which can be found in delicatessens and good supermarkets or lean English smoked bacon (with any rind or fat cut away).
