Poached Choy Sum with Garlic Sauce
Choy sum blanched until just tender, then drizzled with a garlic-soy sauce. A Cantonese side dish that shows up at almost every family dinner. Takes 10 minutes and makes vegetables taste good.
Stir-Fried Rice Noodles (Chow Fun)
Wide rice noodles stir-fried with beef and vegetables — a Cantonese street food staple. The key is high heat and not overcrowding the wok so the noodles get that slightly smoky char.
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee (Pidan Shourou Zhou)
Cantonese congee with century egg and lean pork — the kind you get at dim sum breakfast spots. Slow-cooked rice breaks down into a thick, creamy porridge. Good for any meal, not just breakfast.
Chenpi Pork Rib Soup
Slow-simmered Cantonese soup with pork ribs and aged tangerine peel (chenpi). The longer the chenpi has aged, the better it tastes. A staple in Guangdong households, especially during dry weather.
