Yin yang fried rice is a rice dish from Hong Kong and part of Cantonese cuisine, consisting of a plate of rice topped with both béchamel sauce and tomato sauce. Its name references mandarin ducks, which symbolize conjugal love in Chinese culture because of their paired appearance and distinct male and female coloring, with the dish two contrasting sauces representing that idea of complementary pairs. Because of this romantic association, the dish is frequently served at wedding dinners in Hong Kong.
