Lai Chi is a traditional Chinese dish that features a combination of ingredients, often including rice, vegetables, and various proteins such as chicken or pork. It is typically prepared by stir-frying the ingredients together, allowing the flavors to meld. The dish is popular for its balance of taste and nutrition, making it a common choice in many Chinese households. The name "Lai Chi" can also refer to a specific type of fruit known as lychee, which is native to southern China. This tropical fruit is known for its sweet, juicy flesh and distinctive red, bumpy skin. Lychee is often enjoyed fresh or used in desserts and beverages.
