Because I have been working and living in Guangzhou for a long time, I also have a rough understanding of some of Guangzhou’s authentic food.
1. Rice roll: Rice roll is the first of the top ten famous foods in Guangzhou. It was named rice roll by Emperor Qianlong because it looks like pig intestines. There are two types of rice roll: sweet and salty. The fillings of salty rice roll mainly include pork, beef and shrimp.
, pork liver, etc., while the fillings of sweet rice rolls are mainly sugar-soaked fruits and vegetables, mixed with fried sesame seeds.
There are two main types of rice rolls, one is Bra rice rolls that mainly taste fillings, and the other is drawer style rice rolls that taste sauces and seasonings.
2. Barbecued pork: Barbecued pork is a kind of Guangdong specialty meat product. The marinated lean pork is hung on a special fork and grilled in the oven.
Good barbecued pork should be balanced in fat and lean, tender and juicy, bright in color, salty on the inside and sweet on the outside, with a burnt aroma and honey flavor. It can be used to make barbecued pork rice and barbecued pork buns.
3. Fried rice noodles: Fried rice noodles is a famous traditional snack in Guangzhou. The raw materials include rice noodles, beef, bean sprouts, etc. It is an affordable home-cooked meal that can be made at home. When frying, be careful to use a little more oil.
To prevent the rice noodles from sticking to the pan, you also need to use chopsticks to break them up and stir-fry them to prevent the rice noodles from sticking into a ball.
4. Tingzai porridge: Tingzai porridge was originally a porridge for these small vendors who made a living on small boats and specialized in supplying customers on the waterside and on boats. The ingredients include sashimi, lean meat, fried dough sticks, peanuts,
Chopped green onions, shredded eggs, shredded skin, shredded jellyfish, shredded barbecued pork, shredded roasted duck and squid, etc. When making the ingredients, you only need to pour the ingredients into the hot porridge base and blanch them before eating. They are now popular because of their smooth texture and delicious taste.
It has become one of the top ten famous foods in Guangzhou.

The skin is thin and white, translucent, soft, tough and refreshing, with a fresh and mellow taste.
Because it looks like a curved comb, it is also called a curved comb dumpling.
Shrimp dumplings are white and crystal clear in color, small and beautiful in appearance, soft in texture, delicious and deeply loved by people.
6. Ginger milk: As the name suggests, ginger milk is a dessert made with ginger juice and milk as the main raw materials. The key point of making it is to use fresh milk boiled to 70-80 degrees and pour it into the fresh ginger juice.
