In the late 1950s, when President Mao Zedong visited Shanghai, the Shanghai Building invited three brothers, Mo Yougeng and Mo Youcai, to cook "fire recipe with honey juice". After Chairman Mao tasted it, he was very satisfied. The staff who followed Chairman Mao also specially asked the Mo brothers about the specific production method. In recent years, foreign guests have tasted the "honey sauce fire recipe" in this store, and also praised it: "The dishes are novel, the patterns are realistic, and the seasoning is beautiful, which deserves to be called the exquisite art of the ancient country." Honey fire recipe is made by boiling and simmering ham above. The finished dish is red in color, transparent in marinade, crisp and rotten in ham, fresh and sweet in taste and deep in aftertaste. The specific method is to wash the clean lean meat above the ham in one piece. Cook in a soup pot until it is 80% crisp, remove the tube bone and flatten it with a basin. After cooling, put it in the refrigerator, take it out and cut it into thick slices (the lean meat is still attached to the skin). Put thick slices of ham and chicken soup in the casserole, simmer and cook, remove the salty taste, if the taste is still too salty, decant the original soup, add clear chicken soup and remove the salty taste until the thick slices of ham are completely salty, take them out, put them in another pot, add 50g of water and 200 sugar, and simmer and bake for 1 hour with low fire until the marinade is thick and bright.
