\nI had seen signs touting Fuding Meat at a number of venues in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Since I had never tried it, I was intent upon persuading my dining buddy who was already familiar with the stuff to share a bowl, so we ventured into Fuding Wok at 5216 Seventh Ave. The texture was not unlike a dumpling \u2013 not the kind of filled Chinese dumplings you\u2019d find in this neighborhood, but rather more like the slippery, fluffy, slightly chewy pillows that float atop a dish of chicken and dumplings.

\nCurious about the ingredients, I tracked down a recipe translated (I\u2019m using that word very generously) into English in a clandestine corner of the interwebs. Fuding meat, named for a county-level city in northeastern China, is composed of pork (cut from the hind leg), pork fat, potato starch plus either cassava starch, wheat starch, or corn starch and a touch of seasoning, emulsified, extruded, sliced, steamed and finally served up in soup. (Don\u2019t try this at home, kids.)

\nAt least eight condiments including my personal favorite, Laoganma Spicy Chili Crisp, graced each table and provided a playground of flavor combinations to enhance our soup.

\nHere’s the aforementioned sign that provides the key to tracking down fuding meat at that location and apparently at other comparable outposts. Since I\u2019m a sucker for comfort food, this handily filled the bill. Best enjoyed on a dreary, rainy day, but don\u2019t let good weather stop you!
