As early as last year, I was lucky enough to be selected for trial use by Hormel. When I got the news, I happened to be picking out Hormel ham slices in the supermarket. I was so lucky! So I spent the whole holiday thinking about how to use these Western ingredients to make Chinese banquet dishes. I simply conceived several dishes, and they were all hot dishes that I thought of carefully. The cold dishes felt a bit like not to be taken seriously hehe~ This one uses Hormel's Taiwanese ham. I got three types of hams and I have been struggling with which one to use. I heard that Taiwanese ham has the slightly sweeter taste of Cantonese ham, but it also has its own characteristics. For the slightly sweeter taste, I used it! Let’s talk about the source of creativity. There are famous water banquets in Luoyang, and one of them is peony agar. I always thought that agar is agar, but later I ate bird’s nest and realized that agar is bird’s nest... I loved eating this dish when I was in Luoyang, and I’m going to try it today. Plus, I already know what the taste of bird’s nest is, so it’s easier to imitate it!
