Lychee pork or lizhi rou (Chinese: 荔枝肉; pinyin: lìzhī ròu; Eastern Min: liĕk-chiĕ-nṳ̆k) is one of the most well known dishes in Fujianese cuisine. Small pieces of deep fried pork and sliced water chestnut are served in a sweet and sour sauce. As is typical in Fujian, are used to add flavor and give bright red color. The pork pieces curl up and are stained red, thus resembling lychee skins, hence the name.
