Speaking of Cantonese food, everyone must be familiar with it. Since the slogan "Eat in Guangzhou" started to be heard, Cantonese food has become familiar to everyone, and it is indeed loved by many friends. In addition, most of the cooking methods are It is relatively healthy and pays attention to the original flavor and health preservation of the ingredients, so Cantonese cuisine leaves many diners with the impression of "light".
But is Cantonese food just light in taste? As a province with a rich and colorful food culture and a dazzling array of dishes and snacks, Cantonese cuisine can certainly be summed up in more than just two words: light. In addition to the lightness, Cantonese cuisine still has many "heavy-flavored" delicacies. Today, Brother Mao will take everyone to experience it!
Roast pork is probably the first Cantonese delicacy that many friends who come to Guangdong fall in love with. The main ingredients are chicken, duck, goose, pork and ribs, which are cooked in an open oven using a special cooking method. It is often eaten. Roast duck, roast goose, crispy roast pork, roast pigeon, roast pork ribs, barbecued pork, etc., or make them into Cantonese-style sausages. The taste is very delicious and mellow, and it can be found in almost every street and alley. It is a very common delicacy, but the taste of barbecued meat is not related to lightness because of its heavy oil and color.
Next, Brother Mao will talk about some classic dishes in barbecue:
