A Well-Known Jiangsu and Zhejiang dish famed for its decorative looks and served on festive occasions at home. The three ingredients are always ham, chicken and bamboo shoots. Very often, shredded pork is used as a filler in the centre, but I have decided to keep faith with the title and use only three ingredients. The ham used in eastern China is inevitably Jinhua ham, which has no match for its intense depth of flavour and fragrance, and is therefore used in smaller quantities than either
