Rouyan dumpling soup 肉燕 →
Pork is worked with starch into a very thin wrapper, which encloses a savory filling and is cooked in soup. The meat-containing wrapper is the defining difference from an ordinary wheat wonton. The skin is delicate but resilient, with a subtle meatiness around the juicy center and light broth.
Lychee pork 荔枝肉 →
Pork is cut so it curls during frying, then coated with a sweet-and-sour sauce. The resulting rounded pieces resemble lychees; potatoes may also appear in some versions. The pork is crisp at first, with tender meat beneath and a glossy tangy-sweet coating. It is a savory meat dish even though its name is fruity.
