Guangdong-style grilled pork

Barbecued pork is a special pork dish, because it needs to be marinated with a lot of condiments and spices first, so its taste is absolutely very strong. When cooked, the meat will be stained with an attractive deep amber color (due to curing), while the inside will remain juicy and "sparkling".

Different from some other pork dishes in China, the processing method of barbecued pork adds delicate depth to its flavor, highlighting its sweet, salty and spicy flavor.

You can taste barbecued pork in many ways, eat it with rice or fried vegetables, wrap it in steamed buns or other jiaozi, and serve as the topping of noodle soup.

They all taste great, so you should try them.

2. An ancient China dessert: moon cakes.

The next nominee on this list is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival China dessert. This kind of cake began to appear in the Shang Dynasty a long time ago, and then gradually became a must-have for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

This iconic dessert in Asian cuisine is called "moon cake" for many reasons, one of which is the shape of the dessert and its salty egg yolk filling. Although the traditional fillings are only mung beans and salted egg yolk, nowadays, you can have more choices.

The fillings of modern moon cakes range from sweet red bean paste, nuts, lotus seeds and dried fruits to salty moon cakes such as ginkgo, pork floss and ham. No matter which type you like, you should prepare some good tea to go with it.

4. Spicy crayfish

You may have seen this dish somewhere on the Internet, so don't hesitate to try it! To describe the taste of crayfish, I would say it is chewy and delicious. The taste will remind you of shrimp and crabs, but it will be sweeter and more fleshy.

Prepare this meal with spicy sauce (heavy or light, depending on your preference) and sweet vegetables such as corn to balance the taste. If it's too spicy, don't forget that China also provides all kinds of pleasant drinks, which you can enjoy at the same time!

When eating, peel off the red shell of crayfish, dip it in sauce, and chew slowly, feeling spicy and sweet spread on the tip of the tongue. Is this enough to persuade you to try this dish?

5. Shanghai Steamed Hairy Crab (Qingzheng Hairy Crab)

Steamed crabs sound ordinary, nothing special, so how do these hairy crabs stand out? This is no coincidence. The uniqueness lies in that it is difficult to find this kind of crab except in China, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

The peak season of these freshwater crabs is September every year, and they are usually served in luxury restaurants, not street food stalls.

These hairy crabs with golden claws have incredible creamy and buttery smells, and their meat is sweeter than ordinary fish.
