Fujian Braised Pork with Fermented Red Rice (Red Wine Pork)

Fujian Province

A traditional Fujian preparation using hong qu (red yeast rice) — rice fermented with Monascus purpureus fungi — as both colouring agent and flavour contributor. The red-crimson pork belly braise is defined by its vivid colour and the deep, slightly funky complexity of the fermented red rice. Different from similar-looking Cantonese dishes: Fujian version uses a true red rice paste, not just colouring.

Fujian Peanut Soup (Hua Sheng Tang) — Smooth Nut Comfort

Fujian Province

Fujian peanut soup (hua sheng tang, 花生汤) is the province's most beloved sweet dessert — raw peanuts simmered for hours in water with rock sugar until completely soft, then served hot or warm. The texture is distinctive: each peanut is intact but melts on the tongue; the soup is a pale amber from peanut skins left on during cooking. A Fujian breakfast, afternoon, and post-dinner tradition.
