Fujian cuisine is consisted of four styles:
- Fuzhou cuisine: taste is light in comparsion to other styles, often there is a mixed sweet and sour taste. Emphasis is also on utilizing soup, and there is a saying in Fuzhou style: One soup can be changed in ten forms.
- Western Fujian cuisine: often there is a spicy taste and the cooking methods are often steam, fry and stir-fry.
- Southern Fujian cuisine: often there is a mix of spicy and sweet taste, and the selection of sauces is elaborate.
- Quanzhou cuisine: least oily among all Fujian cuisine, but with strongest taste/flavor, also put emphasis on the shape of the material for each dish.
One of the most popular dishes is "Buddha jumps over the wall" （佛跳墙, Fotiaoqiang), a complex dish making use of many ingredients, including shark fin, sea cucumber, abalone, and Shaoxing wine.
There are many eating places around the province that sell these specialities for two yuan, and which are thus known as "two-yuan eateries".
