Two years ago, I was in the Nepa Q-mart looking for Prague powder, because one recipe for kekiam had it as an ingredient. I was directed to one vendor who sold me a one-kilo (I think) mixture with a pink color. It had no label whatsoever, and looked like it was a mixture mostly of sugar and salt, and maybe saltpeter or salitre. But with all the news lately about the danger of even using a a very small amount of nitrites ( as in salitre), do you think it is safe to use this mixture I bought at the market? How regulated are the makers of curing mixes like the one I was able to buy at the market? Are curing mixes like this, commonly sold and used by the meat vendors who also make tocino at their market stalls, safe? I haven't really tried to use this mixture after I started hearing news about attempts to ban the use of nitrites. Thanks.

Thanks for posting your noche buena ham recipe... at least this coming Christmas meron na akong recipe na pwedeng gayahin para maiba naman ang ham style ng noche buena namin. :) Is there any Chinese ham brand you recommend buying in particular? Ang sarap naman nito!
