[Traditional Fujian Lychee Meat] Mom’s specialty dish

Overview

Lychee meat is a traditional famous dish in Fuzhou with a history of two to three hundred years. It is named because its color, shape and taste are all similar to lychee. The preparation method is to cut the lean pork into oblique pieces with a cross knife. Because the depth and width of the buns are uniform and appropriate, they are rolled into a lychee shape after deep-frying and served with tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and other seasonings. Home-style lychee meat simplifies cooking and is more suitable for ordinary family cooking. I said in a previous blog post: My father’s specialty is drunken pork ribs, while my mother’s specialty is the traditional Fujian dish lychee pork. Every time there is a family gathering, my mother must show off her special dish. As children, we have never gotten tired of eating this dish for many years, and now our children love it even more. Especially Xiaoyu, he always believes that grandma's lychee meat tastes better than all the hotels.
