crowned the king of min cuisine, "buddha jumps over the wall" was originally named "fu shou quan" (signifying "fortune, longevity, and completeness").
this culinary masterpiece brings together dozens of luxurious ingredients, such as shark fin, abalone, sea cucumber, pork tendons, chicken, and duck, all gently braised in a single urn with rich stock and shaoxing yellow wine.
this slow simmering process melds them into an incredibly fragrant concoction, where each component retains its individual integrity while contributing to a perfectly unified whole. it stands as a true culinary embodiment of fuzhou’s "fu" (blessing/good fortune) culture within the tapestry of min cuisine.
