―Why did you invent this recipe?
“I wanted to create a Hokkaido-like appearance that would catch the eye of foreign customers, so I combined potatoes, salmon roe, and colorful Hokkaido vegetables.
The ham is marinated in a special broth for three days, cooked at low temperature, and finally lightly smoked.
The ≪Yume no Daichi≫ shoulder loin used in the ham is tender and has a robust aroma.
While retaining the juicy aroma of that pork, we devised a way to create a two-step enjoyment by adding a smoked aroma only on the surface. ”

―What is your message to overseas visitors?

We hope you will come to Hokkaido to experience 〈Hokkaido-ness〉.”

INGREDIENTS-SERVES 4

SPECIAL BROTH FOR HAM

  • Cooking sake
  • 3% salt
  • sugar
  • pepper
  • Garlic slices
  • ginger
  • Green onion
  • celery

GALETTE DOUGH

  • 2 potatoes
  • 100 cc milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon rice oil

PROCEDURE

  • Put the pork shoulder loin and the ingredients for the special soup stock in a double plastic bag, close the bag so that the air can escape, and refrigerate for 3 days. Put it in an airtight bag and heat it at 60° for 2 hours at low temperature.
  • When the pork is cool, smoke it with cherry chips.
    (*Put the smoking chips, net, and ham on a heavy pan and heat with the lid on.)
  • Shred and grate each of the two potatoes, then mix all the dough ingredients, spread the batter thinly on a greased pan and cook over low heat.
  • Roll the ham in the baked dough, place on a plate, and top with the marinated vegetables.
    (Do not marinate green vegetables because they lose their color.)
  • Finally, top with salmon roe and green vegetables.
    The ham and salmon roe have a salty taste, so it is just the right amount of saltiness as it is, but you can serve it with pepper or chili pepper to taste.
