“Buddha Jumps Over the Wall,” also known as “Buddha’s Temptation”

 Buddha jumps over the wall, a traditional Chinese dish.


It originated during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty in China, which is equivalent to the period of President Monroe in the United States.


Legend has it that in Fuzhou during the Daoguang period of China's Qing Dynasty, some people had to go begging every day in order to make a living.


One day, a few beggars had a sudden idea, will be begging from the hands of the rich abalone, sea cucumber, and other ingredients, and so on, all mixed together into a wine jar.


All of them were mixed together and put into the wine altar, sealed with lotus leaves, and then slowly stewed for 5 to 6 hours with low fire.


This unique way of cooking allows the flavours of the various foods to permeate each other and taste great!


It so happened that the place where these beggars made this food was in the corner of a temple.


And a monk in the temple, smelling the aroma of this dish through the wall.


As much as possible can not help but jump out of the wall with the beggars to fight for the food.


Thus: this dish by the beggar cooking nonsense food named: Buddha jumped over the wall. (That is, the temptation of Buddha)
