Fuding sliced meat, which takes its name from a small Chinese municipality on the northeast coast of Fujian province, isn't actually sliced, nor is it purely meat. This homespun dish is prepared from a paste — composed, typically, of three parts well-pounded pork leg to two parts mashed sweet potato — that is spooned into boiling water, where it quickly sets into irregular shapes. Fuding meat is often served in soup, sometimes with a local variety of wontons, inevitably with a host of condiments close at hand.
