Theories vary on why it's named 'Fujian' despite its HK origin, but applying the gravy from 'Fujian Stir-fried Noodles' to rice is the leading theory. A massive staple finishing dish for nice dinners in HK.
Eating tips & etiquette
Use a spoon to scoop the thick gravy and crumbly fried rice together. The gravy's moisture softens the rice slightly, while the intense seafood umami coats every grain, sliding down your throat smoothly.
