The "roasted meat" in Cantonese cuisine refers to two types of dishes, "roasted meat" and "roasted meat". "Siu Mei" includes the common barbecued pork, roast duck, roast goose, etc., while "La Mei" includes sausages, bacon, etc., which are all very distinctive dishes in Guangdong.
Let’s talk about “Siu Mei” first, which is generally divided into two types. One is to bake food. Put chickens and ducks in the oven to roast them. The skin will be crispy and the meat will be chewy. It's like roasted goose with fruit wood. It has crispy skin and fresh meat, full of aroma. It is usually eaten with sweet and sour sauce. Some people compare roast duck with Beijing roast duck. The difference between the two is that Beijing roast duck is eaten with the skin on, while roast duck is chopped into pieces, and the cooking methods are different. The skin of Peking duck is crispier and more fragrant, but the flavor is not as rich as roast duck. The second type of siu mei is a braised dish. The taste is lighter, and the sauce usually comes with minced garlic and white vinegar. Whenever you come to an authentic Cantonese restaurant, you will see a dish called "marine platter", which contains various parts such as chicken kidneys, duck feet, foie gras, etc. It may seem a bit heavy when you first see it, but after eating It doesn't taste any worse than the others.
As for "cured meat", the taste of Cantonese style is lighter than that of other regions, and there are many varieties. When you mention it, you can think of the famous "claypot rice" in Guangdong. Claypot rice needs to be simmered slowly over low heat. The soup of bacon and sausages fully soaks the bright-colored rice. Finally, it is topped with other seasonings. The taste is very unique and you will never get tired of eating it.
Cantonese-style barbecue not only includes local cooking techniques, but is also influenced by foreign dishes. Chefs combined and improved different food preparation methods, and finally by the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the Cantonese style barbecue was basically formed, which was loved by people. Later, with the exchange and collision of cultures, barbecued meat had a broader market.
When you come to Guangdong now, you must try the local barbecue. And there are small shops selling barbecued meat everywhere, which is enough to show the importance of this delicacy in the local area. There are many types of barbecued meats and they are delicious. You can change the dishes every day and enjoy different delicacies every day.
