It is simple to steam-cured meat together, but it is fragrant, salty, sweet, palatable, flexible, and not greasy. On September 10, 2018, “Chinese Cuisine中国菜” was officially released, and “Steamed with Preserved Meat” was rated as one of the top ten classic dishes in Hunan.

This dish comes from Hunan, which has a low terrain and a warm and humid climate. Therefore, fresh meat should not be stored, but cured meat after smoking can be preserved and stored. Gradually, people also developed a habit of eating bacon.

There is a story about this dish that spreads among the people. Long ago, Liu Qi刘七, who ran a restaurant, went into exile in other villages after bankruptcy. One day, he came to a county town to beg for food. As the New Year was coming, everyone gave him some alms, such as cured fish and bacon. Liu Qi mixed the cured fish and meat he had asked for in a steaming bowl and made a fire under the eaves of a rich man’s house.

The rich man was drinking with his guest when suddenly a fragrance overflowed the living room. The guest sniffed and said, “Brother, do you have anything good to eat? Bring it out quickly.” The rich man asked his servant to bring the dishes quickly. The servant was surprised that Mingming had brought all the dishes to the table.

Then the servant went to the door and found a beggar in the corner taking a steaming bowl from the fire to eat. The smell came from here. So the servant replaced the food with twice the rice, and everyone thought it tasted good. This guest is the boss of a restaurant, so he wants Liu Qi to improve his business. The rich man asked his servant to tell Liu Qi, and Liu Qi agreed.

Liu Qi entered the Grand Restaurant, and after carefully improving his dish, he named it “Cured Meat Steamed”. This dish is really good in color, aroma, taste, and shape, attracting a large number of customers, and the business of the restaurant is very prosperous.

In fact, as early as the Han Dynasty汉代, Hunan ancestors used bacon to make delicacies. By the Qing Dynasty清朝, this kind of dish had become very famous. “Steamed with preserved ham” was one of many preserved ham dishes.

Steamed cured meat is rich in nutrition. It contains more phosphorus, potassium, sodium, fat, protein, carbohydrate, and other elements. It has the effects of appetizing, dispelling cold, and digesting food.
