But does Cantonese food only have a light taste? As a province with rich and colorful food culture and dazzling dishes and snacks, Cantonese cuisine can't be summarized by just two words. In addition to its light features, Cantonese cuisine has many "heavy-tasting" foods. Today, Brother Mao takes everyone to experience it!
Roasted meat should be a Cantonese dish that many friends who came to Guangdong to work hard fell in love with from the beginning. The main ingredients are chicken, duck, goose and ribs cooked by special cooking methods. Often eat roast duck, roast goose, crispy meat, roast pigeon, roast ribs, etc., or make Cantonese sausage. It tastes delicious and mellow, and it is found in almost every street. Very common food, but because of the heavy color of heavy oil, the taste of barbecue has nothing to do with lightness.
Next, Brother Mao will elaborate on several classic dishes in roasted meat:
The King of Barbecue-Roasted Goose
Roasted goose can be said to be the most representative dish in roasted meat. At the banquet in Guangzhou, a plate of roast goose must be chopped, and the quality of roast goose can be said to reflect the standard of this restaurant. The beautiful roast goose is particularly attractive from the moment it is served!
Goose skin is red and shiny, like a ruby, and saliva will stay!
Pick up an entrance, gently bite the delicious juice and it will ooze from the crispy goose skin. The unique fat smell will explode instantly in the mouth, which is especially delicious!
Of course, this is a mellow taste, not a light one.
Cantonese roast pork
Let's take a look at a classic barbecue. Barbecued pork can be said to be a dish with special feelings of being old and broad, and it is also the dish with the highest appearance rate in office workers' working meals. The well-cooked barbecue is also charming!
The best thing about barbecued pork is to use plum blossom meat. A little flower meat can make barbecued pork more oily and delicious.
Roasted sparerib
This dish is also found in many barbecue stalls, and it is also a popular dish that can often be seen in farms in Guangzhou. The whole big ribs are marinated and baked with spice sauce, and the smell is unbearable!
Delicious grilled ribs, fragrant appearance, fresh and delicious meat, very fresh and fragrant!
Chaoshan pork knuckle fan
In recent years, with the continuous development of Chaoshan cuisine, Chaoshan pig's trotters appear more and more in Guangzhou's barbecue shops. I believe many people, especially white-collar workers working in CBD, have a special liking for this kind of food, which is both affordable and delicious, and can also replenish energy. The key is really delicious!
Especially the most delicious part of the "four points" of pig's feet, this part tastes very soft and glutinous, fragrant but not greasy, full of fragrance and long aftertaste!
Of course, Brother Mao likes playing more. Pork feet and barbecued pork are mixed with brine, which is full of oil and refreshing!
After the barbecue, let's take a look at the staple food of "heavy taste"!
Even if it is a staple food, there is no shortage of choices in Guangdong, and clay pot rice is one of the representatives. Brother Mao here thinks the most classic is bacon clay pot rice!
The most exquisite thing about clay pot rice is that the oil of sausage and bacon is forced out by the high temperature in the pot and penetrates into the rice, so that every bite of rice tastes extremely oily, and it is not cold at all with delicious sausage.
Of course, Lao Guang's favorite is crispy rice crust with a crispy bottom, which is full of oil. Enjoy it!
Let's try the representative of heavy taste in several snacks!
Beef offal can be said to be the most representative street snack in Guangzhou cuisine. Streets and alleys can be seen almost everywhere. As soon as I walked into the rich fragrance, I came face to face, and people couldn't help but order one.
Usually, Cantonese beef offal will be stewed with more column sauce. Generally speaking, the taste is mellow and rich, delicious, heavy and not light.
Beef offal pot
In addition to selling beef offal on the street, beef offal pot is also a common practice. Adding beef balls and gluten to stew in a casserole will only make it more delicious!
This is also a snack that Lao Guang often eats. Whether eating noodles or eating clean, the fat and delicious large intestine is always very popular!
This is also an authentic Laoguang snack. It is stewed with pig's trotters and eggs, balsamic vinegar and rock sugar. It is rich and sour, very appetizing and a nutritious snack.
Then come back and see the food stalls!
Bobo pot can be said to be the most smoked food stall. The food was cooked in a short time by the hot air of the casserole, and the most crisp taste of the food was retained. At the same time, the rich flavor of the sauce is completely soaked in the food, which is so fragrant! The ingredients that best reflect the characteristics of BBB dishes are generally eel, and the most delicious and refreshing eel is white eel! The moment the lid is lifted, the house is full of fragrance!
Quickly picked up an entrance, amazing! In addition to the delicate taste, there is a faint crispy carp fragrance, and the rich sauce is completely delicious. It is really delicious!
Besides eel, Lao Guang, who loves chicken, often eats chicken pot made of chicken. The same sauce, rich and delicious!
Besides meat, vegetables can also be cooked in one pot! This pot of Chinese kale with shrimp sauce is very classic. The kale retains the most refreshing taste in the pot, and the umami flavor of the shrimp sauce is completely gone. It is really enjoyable to eat!
Babazhu rice rolls
Pot cooking is not only used for meat dishes, but also for pasta snacks. For example, this pot of boiled pig, rice rolls, covered with brisket, was conquered by the smell as soon as it was opened!
Pork rolls are completely soaked in the sauce in the pot, and every bite is so fragrant and delicious. It's really enjoyable!
After that, let's take a look at some classic "heavy mouth" dishes in Chaoshan, Guangdong!
With the popularity of Chaoshan food culture in the country in recent years, this Chaoshan food has become more and more familiar to more diners. Shrimp and crab are mainly used as raw materials, and ginger, onion, garlic, salt, vinegar and soy sauce are added to preserve them to the maximum extent, highlighting the original flavor of seafood!
Raw pickled crab
It should be the most popular kind of raw pickling. The raw salted crab roe becomes as delicate and oily as agar, which is very attractive!
The sauce is salty and delicious when soaked, but it can't stop eating, but it will be a little salty, so I usually eat more porridge.
Raw salted shrimp
By the same token, shrimp meat is delicious, while retaining the original crisp teeth of fresh shrimp, which is very cool!
Raw pickled blood clam
It is also one of the most popular dishes of raw salty seafood. It tastes delicious and refreshing, salty and fragrant!
Unconsciously talking for so long really made Brother Mao hungry. In fact, having said that, I still want to show the charm of Cantonese cuisine as completely as possible. In fact, besides being light and healthy, Cantonese cuisine is full of flavor, just like the inclusive atmosphere here.
Welcome to Guangdong to taste Cantonese food! So what is the most "heavy" Cantonese food in everyone's mind? Vote for Brother Mao!
