Yusheng, yee sang or yuu sahng, or Prosperity Toss, also known as lo sahng is a Malaysian/Singaporean-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish, mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. There is also a vegetarian version of this dish, where the fish is replaced with soy "fish", which resembles salmon. Yusheng literally means "raw fish" but since "fish (魚)" is commonly conflated with its homophone "abundance (餘)", Yúshēng (魚生) is interpreted as a homophone for Yúshēng (餘升) meaning an increase in abundance. Therefore, yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.
