Guangdong morning tea can be said to be the essence of various factions of Cantonese cuisine. Guangdong's Pearl River Delta is the world of roast goose, and Chenghai in Chaoshan area has pushed red roast goose to the whole world.
In Guangdong, there is a saying that chicken can't be feasted. Chicken is very popular in Guangdong (only Chaoshan area eats less chicken). Although we all know the boiled chicken in Guangdong, a kind of brine chicken is also popular in Hakka dishes in Guangdong.
It can be seen that Cantonese people eat not only geese, but also chickens.
Abalone is a precious delicacy on the table, and abalone is the top grade in seafood. A Yi abalone produced in Hong Kong was originally created by Mr. Yang Guanyi, a famous chef in Zhongshan. Auntie Abalone was rated as one of the top ten famous Cantonese dishes by the first China Cantonese Cuisine Summit.
I wanted to share the delicious food in Guangdong with you, but I just had something to deal with, so I had to collect my pen in a hurry and make a comment. There are endless comments, sorry for everyone (it is suggested that the headline number should also be added with the draft function in the Q&A, which is convenient for editing comments on the mobile phone).
Talk about food after work.
Among Hakka dishes, brine chicken, braised pork and other big dishes are not counted. The only thing that haunts me is Tai Po Yuba. Small soybeans are ground with a stone mill to open douban, which is blown off by the wind, soaked in Dongjiang water until soft, then ground into soybean milk with a stone mill, boiled with a big fire, gently picked up with a thin coat floating on the surface, and dried. The traditional production technology continues to this day. Unfortunately, impetuous modern people use all kinds of machines instead of labor, but they don't know that the temperature is caused by the beating of machines. Under the action of temperature, the ground soybean milk has changed, and then made into yuba, the taste is much worse.
In western Guangdong, when it comes to chicken, Zhanjiang chicken is missing. Sorry, friends in Zhanjiang.
In western Guangdong cuisine, a dish of boiled duck is also a classic. The cooked duck can't afford to fly, and Zhanjiang people actually let it fly with the simplest dipping sauce. The duck is cooked in clear water, cut into pieces, and then added to soy sauce only with raw garlic, which not only removes the fishy smell of the duck, but also sweetens the duck. There are countless kinds of fried squid with ginger worm porridge, but Yangjiang Douchi is the first choice for western Guangdong cuisine. Without Yangjiang Douchi, many of our dishes have to be changed.
The only thing that makes people feel that they have nothing to eat is northern Guangdong, an old industrial city where all work and no food. But now the best ecological environment is northern Guangdong. Snails, fish, wild vegetables, etc. It still exists in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong. The flower mushroom in northern Guangdong is very famous in Guangdong.
The food that best represents Guangdong should not be the most expensive, but the best.
The dishes that best represent Guangdong should be the most practical, intimate, delicious and inexpensive.
In the comment area, some friends commented that Chaozhou cuisine is the mainstream. Indeed, Chaoshan cuisine is spread all over the world with a pot of casserole porridge. Because Chaoshan people have a long business tradition and habits, it has become the mainstream.
Anyone who has been to Shantou knows that nightlife just started at eleven or twelve in the evening. Tired of working overtime, singing, falling in love and chatting, I casually sat down at a table on the side of the road, ordered a bowl of rice porridge, some seafood and two bottles of beer. Three or five confidants eat warmly, and the charge definitely makes outsiders stunned: how is it so cheap?
When ordering food in Chaoshan food stall, the first goal is not to make a profit, but to retain customers with the concept of a long stream of water. There are only two ways for Chaoshan people after midnight. One is to tell you that you have enough food and don't order too much. The other is to tell the kitchen that this menu is only for three people and cook according to the weight of three people.
If I have to find a dish to represent Guangdong, I want to say: Chaoshan casserole porridge.
