Buddha Jumps Over the WallBuddha Jumps Over the Wall is a famous traditional Fujian dish, primarily made with珍贵 ingredients such as shark fin, abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, and pigeon eggs, enhanced with aromatics like dried scallops, chicken, and ham.

The finished dish has a golden color and a thick, delicious soup.
