Speaking of Guangzhou’s food culture, I believe many friends will immediately think of the various morning tea snacks or the original and delicious Cantonese dishes. These are the characteristics of Guangzhou cuisine, but they do not mean that in I eat these every day in Guangzhou. After all, to understand the food culture of a region, you have to look at what the daily food here is like.

So what are the delicacies that you eat almost every day in Guangzhou? In addition to breakfast rice rolls, Brother Mao feels that the rich ingredients, convenient and fast box rice is something that everyone who works and lives in Guangzhou often eats. So today Brother Mao will take you to have an in-depth understanding of Guangzhou’s box lunch culture!

Shredded chicken, roasted pork, etc. (far more than what Brother Mao mentioned);

In recent years, with the increase in the flow of people and cultural exchanges between different cities in the province, Chaoshan Braised Rice Gradually, it also began to emerge in Guangzhou's box lunch market, mainly including Chaoshan pig's feet, braised goose and various kinds of braised rice. Nowadays, it can be said that the number of stores is not even inferior to that of barbecue restaurants, and most Hezi restaurants even sell both.

So today Brother Mao will talk to you about the two categories of Cantonese roasted pork rice and Chaoshan braised rice.

Usually the impression left by Cantonese cuisine is that it is light and authentic, but Cantonese-style barbecue is completely different. Cantonese-style barbecue includes two cooking techniques: roasting and waxing, but now people I have become accustomed to barking in succession. The main foods I usually eat include barbecued pork, roasted pork, roasted goose, roasted duck, roasted suckling pig and pigeon. These delicacies are marinated in sauce and then grilled. They are fast and delicious and are deeply loved by old people. Everyone's favorite.

Next, let’s take a look at the indispensable roles of Cantonese barbecue!

Barbecued Pork

This can be said to be a classic among Cantonese-style barbecued pork! As long as there is no one living in Guangzhou who has not eaten barbecued pork, this delicacy made of plum blossom meat marinated in sauce is tender, juicy and full of fragrance. It can be said that most people like it. The first choice for rice.

To make good barbecued pork, you must choose plum meat that is fat and lean. This way, the barbecued pork will taste less and more fragrant!

Roast Duck

Many people say why they roast duck the second time, but I disagree with roast goose! Haha, although Brother Mao also knows that roast goose is more representative and more delicious, but due to the convenience and cost of purchasing ingredients, most of the box meals sold on the street are mainly roast duck. Those who eat roast duck I also have quite a few friends.

A good roast duck tastes like it has crispy skin and rich juicy meat. It is very delicious and the flavor of the meat goes well with rice. Especially if you have a roasted duck leg, it will be so delicious!

Soy Sauce Chicken

Lao Guang is usually called "Youji". It is also a very popular barbecue dish. It is cooked with sweet soy sauce and is sweet and delicious. , which makes people unable to stop talking.

Brother Mao’s favorite is the soy sauce chicken drumstick. The sweet soy sauce soaks into the fresh and tender chicken drumstick meat. It doesn’t feel too good to eat it again!

Crispy Roasted Pork

Roasted Pork is also a very popular type of roasted pork. The combination of crispy skin and tender meat always makes diners very satisfied. The order rate for the box lunches is also very high.

However, eating roasted pork alone is usually a bit dry. Brother Mao still likes to eat it with soy sauce chicken or other roasted meats, which is more enjoyable!

Plain-cut chicken

People who love chicken can’t get enough of plain-cut chicken! Add a lot of green onion and ginger to a chicken gizzard! The pureest deliciousness of the chicken becomes even more delicious when soaked with green onion and ginger paste, and your mouth will water!

Honey Sauce Roast Pork Ribs

This is another very delicious roast pork. The pork rib meat itself is very delicious, and the honey sauce makes it even sweeter and more delicious. It tastes delicious!

Shredded Chicken

Another classic chicken rice box dish. Compared with white-cut chicken, Shredded Chicken tastes more tender and flavorful because the chicken is shredded into small pieces. And the chicken flavor is easier to dissolve in the rice, especially when paired with rice!

Enjoy the multi-tasking of roasted pork

Having said so many roasted pork dishes, the reason why roasted pork has become the most popular rice box is not only because of each dish The deliciousness of roasted pork rice is due to its convenience and convenience, and you can choose from a variety of options to make it yourself! Double or triple is fine, as long as you like!

Three combinations of barbecued pork, chicken and duck in soy sauce!

It’s okay. If it’s not enough to eat, we’ll chop up a box each and take it home to eat slowly!

After talking about Cantonese-style barbecue, let’s take a look at Chaoshan brine. In recent years, with the popularity of Chaoshan cuisine in Guangzhou, Chaoshan brine fast food has become more and more popular in Guangzhou. Among them, the most popular is Chaoshan brine. The most popular ones are pig's trotter rice and braised goose rice.

Chaoshan Pig’s Knuckle Rice

Let’s talk about Pig’s Knuckle Rice first. I dare say that many friends who have just come to Guangzhou will eat it for the first time when they are not used to the taste here. The pig's trotter rice is always delicious, but this Chaoshan braised pig's trotter is so delicious! A delicious pig's trotters restaurant, there is definitely a long queue at noon.

The reason why pig's trotter rice is so popular is that it tastes so good. Usually people's impression of pig's trotters is that they are greasy, but after using Chaoshan brine, the pig's trotters taste better. It's really fragrant but not greasy, melts in your mouth and leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth!

The best part is the skin of the pig's feet. Soaked in the mellow marinade, the collagen in your mouth is soft, glutinous and rich, very delicious!

Pig’s trotters with Chaoshan brine

Brother Mao’s favorite way to eat is the combination of pig’s trotters, Chaoshan meat rolls and marinated large intestine! The brine of large intestine is also the signature of Chaoshan brine. The large intestine is soaked in brine and is soft and glutinous.

And now more and more stores sell Cantonese-style roast meat and Chaoshan brine together, which makes it more convenient for diners to choose. The pig's trotters and large intestines and the white-cut chicken are really delicious. Don't be too nice!

Chaoshan Braised Goose Rice

After talking about the pig’s feet, let’s take a look at the braised goose! In recent years, Chaoshan braised goose has become very popular in Guangzhou. It feels like in an instant, braised goose restaurants are opening all over the streets and alleys and shopping malls. As the most representative dish of Chaoshan brine, braised goose has won the favor of many people due to its delicious and unique taste.

Compared with roasted goose, the biggest feature of braised goose is that it does not taste so greasy and hot, and the taste of the brine penetrates into the goose fiber very well, making every bite taste very delicious. .

In addition to goose meat, braised goose gizzards, goose blood, tofu and braised eggs are all very delicious! Especially the marinated rice tastes so delicious!

Of course, Brother Mao thinks that the most delicious thing must be the braised foie gras. Different from the fatness of Western foie gras, Chaoshan braised foie gras is tender and tasty and melts in your mouth. Another mouthful of fragrant rice soaked in brine. , this work meal was quite satisfying!

Okay, I’ve been coding pictures for so long without realizing it, and I’ve really made Brother Mao hungry!
