How it's used
Refers specifically to meat cut into small, uniform cubes, often used in stir-fries or as a topping for instant noodles. The term is most iconic when paired with five-spice seasoning, creating a staple canned food item found in almost every local supermarket. It implies a convenient, bite-sized preparation rather than a specific cut of meat.
