How it's used

Refers specifically to meat cut into small, uniform cubes, often used as a topping or mixed into stir-fries. It is frequently associated with convenience foods or quick meals like fried rice or congee. The term emphasizes the texture and size rather than the type of meat, which is usually specified before the term if necessary.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 肉碎, which refers to minced or ground meat. While both are small, 肉粒 implies distinct, chewable cubes, whereas 肉碎 is much finer and often used in sauces or porridge.
