Cantonese roast pork

Barbecued pork is a very special pork dish, because it needs to be marinated with a lot of condiments and spices first, so the taste is absolutely very rich. When cooking, the meat will get an attractive deep amber color (due to curing), while the inside will remain juicy and "sparkling".

Different from some other pork dishes in China, the processing method of barbecued pork adds subtle depth to its flavor and highlights its sweet, salty and spicy taste.

There are many flavors of barbecued pork, which can be eaten with rice or stir-fried dishes, wrapped in steamed buns or other jiaozi, and can also be used as the topping of noodle soup.

It's all delicious. You should try it.
