The meats are separately braised until tender, cooled and sliced thinly before being dressed with an aromatic red-oil sauce.

Origin and food culture
The modern name is associated with husband-and-wife vendors in Chengdu in the early twentieth century, building on an older local tradition of sliced beef and offal served cold with a highly seasoned dressing.
The character fèi (肺, lung) survives in the name, but contemporary versions normally use beef together with cuts such as tripe, tongue or heart rather than lung.
