Foochow Cuisine is a regional Chinese cuisine originating from Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province. It is known for its emphasis on fresh ingredients, seafood, and unique flavors. Common cooking techniques include steaming, braising, and stir-frying, often using light sauces to enhance the natural taste of the food. A hallmark of Foochow cuisine is its use of fermented products, such as fermented tofu and red yeast rice, which add depth to dishes. Popular dishes include Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, a rich soup, and Foochow fish balls, made from fresh fish paste. The cuisine reflects the region's coastal geography and cultural heritage.
