Fo Tiao Qiang , Guangzhou

This is a kind of superior dish, whose original name is “Fu Shou Quan”. It was first created by eminent Juchunyuan Restaurant of Fuzhou during the region of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. Fo Tiaoqiang is made of 28 kinds of fresh ingredients such as, abalone, sea cucumber, shark’s fin, fish maw, shark's lip, tendons, hams, dried scallop, dried mushroom and Shaoxing Wine etc. Put them into an earthen jar and seal up with mud. It takes more than 10 hours to stew with slow fire. The flavor is delicious and the sweet perfumes are diffused all around. It is a delicacy in autumn and winter. No wonder that one skillful writer in Qing Dynasty recite poems to praise “The fragrance float in the air even to the neighbor house when open up. The Buddha leap the wall as soon as smell the scent.” Fo Tiao Qiang is thus named.
