According to legend, during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhou Lian, the envoy of Fujian Province, ate a dish called "Fushouquan" at a banquet hosted by Fuzhou officials, and he was very satisfied. So, I went home and ordered the chef Zheng Chunfa to imitate it according to law. On the basis of the original dish, I reduced the amount of meat and added a variety of seafood.

Later, Zheng Chunfa opened a restaurant and presented this dish at a banquet of literati gathering. After tasting it, the literati praised it one after another, and some people wrote an impromptu poem saying, "The altar is full of meat and fragrance floating around, and the Buddha heard that he abandoned Zen and jumped over the wall." The name of the dish "Buddha jumps over the wall" came from this.

Practice and flavor characteristics of Buddha jumping over the wall

Fotiaoqiang, also known as Fushouquan, is a famous local dish in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, which belongs to Fujian cuisine. The Buddha jumping wall is usually made by gathering abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, yak hide glue, Pleurotus eryngii, tendon, mushroom, cuttlefish, scallop and quail eggs, adding broth and Fujian old wine, and simmering. After the dish is finished, it is soft and moist, rich in meat and fragrance, but not greasy, and has a good taste.

Because the "Buddha jumps over the wall" is to simmer dozens of raw materials in one altar, it not only has the same meat flavor, but also maintains its own characteristics. It tastes soft, tender and moist, rich and fragrant, and it is not greasy; The ingredients are permeated with each other, and the taste is delicious. There is almost no fragrance coming out of the Buddha jumping wall during the simmering process. On the contrary, when it is simmered into the altar, it is only necessary to slightly open the lotus leaf, and the wine will smell fragrant and straight into the heart and spleen. The soup is thick and brown, but thick and not greasy. When eating, the wine is mixed with all kinds of aromas, and the fragrance floats four times, rotten but not rotten, and the taste is endless.
