## Additional Notes

* Locals in Fuzhou often use water chestnuts (to cut the richness) and potatoes (to absorb oil). However, due to supply issues during the pandemic, pineapple was used instead.
* Min cuisine tends to be sweet. If you are not accustomed to sweet flavors, you can omit the white sugar.
* You can tap the fried meat chunks with a spoon; a hollow sound indicates they are fully cooked.
