When it comes to the food culture in Guangzhou, I believe that many friends immediately think of a variety of morning tea snacks or delicious Cantonese dishes. These are the characteristics of Guangzhou cuisine, but it does not mean that they will be eaten every day in Guangzhou. In the final analysis, to understand the food culture of a region, we have to look at what the daily diet is like here.

so what is the delicious food that you eat almost every day in Guangzhou? Apart from breakfast in rice rolls, Brother Mao thinks that every person who works and lives in Guangzhou will often eat a box of rice which is rich in ingredients and convenient. So today, Brother Mao will take you to learn more about the box rice culture in Guangzhou!

Boxed rice is actually a local name for box lunch in Guangzhou. At first, the boxed rice in Guangzhou was mainly Cantonese-style roasted meat with various colors, that is, the well-known roast duck, sliced chicken, braised chicken with soy sauce, shredded chicken and roasted meat (far more than what Brother Mao said).

In recent years, with the increase of personnel flow and cultural exchanges between different cities in the province, Chaoshan brine rice has gradually begun to emerge in the box rice market in Guangzhou, mainly including Chaoshan pig's feet, braised geese and various kinds of brine. Up to now, it can be said that the number of stores is not even lost to the barbecue shop, and even most of the box restaurants are sold together.

So today, Brother Mao will tell you about two categories: Cantonese roasted meat rice and Chaoshan bittern rice.

Generally, Cantonese cuisine gives people the impression that it is light and original, but Cantonese roast meat is completely different. Cantonese roast meat includes two cooking techniques, roast and wax, but now people are used to calling it in succession. The main foods they often eat are barbecued pork, roast meat, roast goose, roast duck, roast suckling pig and pigeon, which are pickled and roasted in sauces. They are fast and delicious, and are deeply loved by the old Cantonese people.

Next, let's take a look at the indispensable roles of Cantonese roast meat!

barbecued pork

This can be said to be a classic in Cantonese roast meat! As long as people living in Guangzhou have not eaten barbecued pork, this delicious food made from plum blossom meat marinated in sauce is soft, tender, juicy and fragrant, which can be said to be the first choice for most people.

A good barbecued pork must be cooked with plum blossom meat, so that the barbecued pork will not taste more fragrant!

Roast duck

Many people say how to roast duck the second time, but roast goose doesn't agree! Haha, although Brother Mao also knows that roast goose is a more representative and delicious representative, due to the convenience and cost of purchasing ingredients, most of the boxes of rice sold on the street are mainly roast ducks, and there are quite a few friends who eat roast ducks.

a good roast duck tastes crispy, juicy and delicious, and tastes delicious, especially when it comes to a roast duck leg.

Fried Chicken with Soy Sauce

Usually called "Fried Chicken" directly by Laoguang, it is also a very popular roasted meat dish. It is cooked with sweet soy sauce, so it is sweet and delicious.

Brother Mao's favorite is a chicken leg with soy sauce. The sweet soy sauce has infiltrated the tender chicken leg meat, so it's really not too cool to stutter again!

crispy roast meat

Roast meat is also a very popular roast meat. The combination of crispy skin and tender taste always makes diners enjoy themselves, and the order rate in box rice is also very high.

However, eating roasted meat alone is usually a bit dry. Brother Mao still likes to eat a fried chicken with black bean sauce or other roasted meat together, which is more refreshing!

boiled chicken

How come the old Guangzhou people who love chicken seldom get boiled chicken! A chicken with more d onion and ginger! The purest delicacy of chicken is more delicious under the infiltration of onion and ginger, and the saliva is coming out!

Braised pork ribs with honey

It is also a very delicious roasted meat. The pork ribs themselves are delicious, and it is more sweet and delicious with the infiltration of honey.

Hand-torn chicken

is another classic of chicken boxed rice. Compared with white-cut chicken, hand-torn chicken is more tender and tasty because the chicken is torn into small pieces, and the chicken flavor is easier to dissolve in rice, especially when eating!

Enjoy more roasted meat

After talking about so many roasted meat dishes, the reason why roasted meat can become the most popular box rice is not only the delicious taste of each dish, but also the convenience and quickness of roasted meat rice, and you can make your own choices! Double fight, triple fight will do, as long as you like!

barbecued chicken with black bean sauce and roasted duck with pork!

If you want to eat more, it's no problem. Roasted duck, chicken gizzards, fried chicken with soy sauce and barbecued pork!

nothing, if it's not enough to eat, let's each cut a box and take it home to eat slowly!

After Cantonese-style roasted meat, 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 which pork knuckle rice and braised goose rice are the most popular.

Chaoshan pig's foot rice

Let's talk about pig's foot rice first. I dare say that many friends who just came to Guangzhou are not used to the taste here. When they eat pig's foot rice for the first time, they all shout that it is delicious. I can't help it. The Chaoshan braised pig's foot is really delicious! A delicious pig's feet restaurant is definitely lined up at noon.

The reason why pig's feet rice is so popular is that it tastes so good. Usually, people have a greasy impression of pig's feet, but after the Chaoshan brine method, the pig's feet really taste fragrant but not greasy, and it melts in the mouth, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth!

The essence lies in the skin of pig's feet. Under the infiltration of mellow marinade, the collagen in that mouthful is soft and waxy, which is very delicious!

pig's feet with Chaoshan brine

Brother Mao's favorite way to eat is to add Chaoshan meatloaf to pig's feet and brine to the large intestine! The large intestine of brine is also the signboard of Chaoshan brine. The large intestine is soft and glutinous under the infiltration of brine, and the more you eat it, the more fragrant it is. Plus the pig's feet, it's so cool.

And now more and more stores are selling Cantonese-style roasted meat and Chaoshan brine together, which makes it more convenient for diners to choose. Another boiled chicken with pork feet and large intestine really doesn't taste too good!

Chaoshan braised goose rice

After talking about pig's feet, let's take a look at braised goose! In recent years, the popularity of Chaoshan braised goose in Guangzhou is really very fast, and it feels like a moment that braised goose shops are full of streets and shopping malls. As the most representative dish of Chaoshan brine, braised goose has won the favor of Laoguang because of its delicious and unique taste.

Compared with roasted goose, the biggest feature of braised goose is that it doesn't taste so greasy and hot, and the taste of brine permeates the goose fiber so well that every bite tastes very delicious.

Besides goose meat, stewed goose gizzards, goose blood, tofu and stewed eggs are all very delicious! Especially the marinated rice, it tastes so delicious!

Of course, the most delicious one, Brother Mao, thinks it must belong to the brine foie gras, which is different from the fatty foie gras in western food. The Chaoshan brine foie gras is fresh and delicious, and it melts in the mouth. With a mouthful of fragrant rice soaked in brine, this working meal is quite satisfying!

well, it's been so long before I know it. It's really greedy for Brother Mao himself!

In fact, no matter what kind of boxed rice is, it is one of the rich and colorful food cultures in Guangzhou, and even the work fast food of boxed rice can be enjoyed very much in Guangzhou!

So, finally, Brother Mao still wants to make a small survey. For you, which box of rice is your favorite, Cantonese roasted meat or Chaoshan brine? Tell Brother Mao in the voting!
